Morgan Stanley Capital International-All Country World Free-(ex.US) Index (the "MSCI AC Wld FR-(ex US") Index), is a widely recognized index composed of a sample of companies representative of the markets of both developed and emerging markets throughout the world, excluding the United States. 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 Financial markets in review Dear MMA Praxis Shareholder: What a difference a quarter makes! The powerful second quarter rebound more than offset a tough first quarter, rewarding investors with sizable returns during the first six months of 2003. So far this year, all of the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds have delivered positive absolute returns. MMA Praxis continues to be committed to the concept of stewardship investing. A key component of this approach is shareholder advocacy, i.e., taking seriously our responsibility as an owner of the companies we invest in. We speak out on issues that are in tension with the stewardship investment principles that guide our investing activities at MMA Praxis. During the first six months of 2003, we were involved in a number of important issues that are spelled out in detail in this report. These, and other significant developments at MMA Praxis, will be addressed in this semi-annual communication to shareholders. Financial markets in review The U.S. stock market had a powerful upward move in the second quarter, with the the S&P 500 Index/1/ posting a gain of 15.39 percent! What a remarkable turnaround from the negative returns generated over the past three years. It is worth addressing the question of why equity-type assets started taking off before the Iraq war even started (in mid-March) and have continued to rise despite continued economic uncertainty. There are at least three possible answers to this question: .. The stock market prices can be impacted by expectations about the future. In times of fear or greed these expectations are often exaggerated, becoming overly optimistic or overly pessimistic. This can lead to exaggerated actions in the form of excessive selling or buying. In March, it appeared that investors were overly pessimistic, resulting in depressed prices for many financial assets. This dynamic is why it is usually safest to buy when fear is high and why it often pays to be more cautious when investors are ignoring risk. .. The economy continues to struggle, however, it is not getting worse. Moreover, there is an increasing amount of stimulus with exceptionally-low interest rates, a falling dollar (resulting in less competition from imports), and the tax cut. Areas of the economy are showing strength (housing) and the business sector has been able to take advantage of very low interest rates to refinance debt and lower debt service. .. Though great uncertainty about the post-war period remains, the Iraq-war disaster scenarios did not come to pass. This all underscores, again, the need to be forward-looking in assessing financial markets, rather than backward-looking, or fixated on today's worries. A critical part of the analysis is assessing what the financial markets are pricing in (or "discounting"). Sometimes the markets price in nirvana and sometimes they price in the end of the world. Today, for the first time in years, they seem to be doing a reasonably good job of pricing in reality. - ---------- /1/ Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices. 1 What could go wrong? With such strong returns from the stock market in the second quarter, it's reasonable to wonder how current investment opportunities look relative to the risks. At MMA, we've identified several risks that deserve investors' attention. Among these are: .. Structural risks including debt levels and the sizable U.S. dependence on foreign capital. .. Deflation, which could be a by-product of high debt level. .. Inflation, which could eventually be ignited by attempts to fight deflation. .. Geopolitical risks including terrorism. These risks have not gone away but, in general, most have subsided. Following is a brief discussion of how we assess the risks posed by these macro-economic issues: Debt levels are still high but on the corporate side stresses have eased considerably. That's because interest rates have dropped significantly for less-than-creditworthy borrowers. This has allowed many companies with high debt to refinance their debt, significantly increasing their cash flow. On the household side, refinancing continues and hopefully this has helped stabilize and potentially reduce debt service (the most recent debt service data we have is as of March 31). However, household debt (credit cards, mortgage, etc.) has continued to accelerate, growing by over 10 percent in the 12 months ended May 31, 2003. The overall growth rate of debt is higher than it has been in more than 10 years and this increase may offset some or all of the benefit of lower interest rates. (Some of this could be explained by the increase in first-time homebuyers.) As far as the current account deficit goes, it is still huge, but the declining dollar should begin to have an impact. The good news is that the dollar has dropped substantially without a crisis or major dislocations. Dollar risk continues, but with a big move already behind us, the risks are somewhat less than they were. Deflation risk remains but we are less concerned than we were last year. Though some data continues to suggest deflation is a risk, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") has made it clear that it will not take chances and will err on the side of too much inflation. It has a variety of tools at its disposal but it may be able to accomplish much of the job by simply stating what it "might" do. For example, there has been talk of buying Treasury bonds--this talk may have helped keep bond prices high and interest rates (including mortgage rates) low. To date there has been no need to actually buy bonds, because the talk of doing so has impacted the market's pricing of those bonds, as if some of the buying had actually occurred. Aside from taking comfort in the Fed's focus, the economy remains on shaky footing but there are signs of stabilization in the labor market and the manufacturing sector. These signs are hardly conclusive, but marginal improvement along with the increased fiscal stimulus soon to kick in, suggest more reason to be optimistic than pessimistic. The sluggishness of this recovery is surprisingly reminiscent of the recovery in the early 1990s. Inflation risks are not significant in the near term. Even if deflation is avoided, as seems likely, the risk will probably be around for a while--most likely into next year. However, the monetary and fiscal stimulus that is in place could ultimately overshoot the target and result in a spike in inflation. Though not a near-term concern it is something we think about as we assess return expectations over the next three to five years. Geopolitical risks remain, though the stress level has declined. So far, the fear that a U.S. attack on Iraq would increase the risk of terrorism in the U.S. has not come to pass, but it remains a huge unknown. Most terrorist acts have little direct impact on broad economic behavior and thus affect financial markets only temporarily. However, the possibility exists for terrorist acts that could have real economic consequences, creating a wildcard for investors. - ---------- Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 2 The world remains a risky place, as it has always been. And the risks continue to seem somewhat greater than in the past perhaps because the worst case is so scary. However, we are conscious of the tendency for "today's" risks to always seem much more alarming than "yesterday's" risks. At present, we believe equity asset classes are reasonably valued and discount a "normal" level of risk. Are today's risks "normal"? That's a subjective assessment that is hard to make but it is no longer clear that big-picture risks are above average. Portfolio performance MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund What to do with bonds? Given the fact that bond yields are at or near historic lows (remember, if interest rates rise, bond prices will fall), it's fair to ask why we would recommend that MMA Praxis shareholders include this asset class in their portfolio. The reason is that economic risk has not gone away and bonds historically would be the best-performing asset class if the economy weakens again. Returns wouldn't be great but from current levels positive returns could provide important portfolio ballast for many investors' portfolios if equities were declining across the board. For most investors, some exposure to bonds is an important component of a well-designed risk-management strategy. The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund Class A Share (NAV*) provided a total return of 3.58 percent while Class B Share (NAV*) posted gains of 3.39 percent during the first half of 2003. These returns compare favorably with the passive benchmark established for these two share classes, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index/1/, which returned 3.93 percent over the same time period. Please read the commentary from the portfolio mangers for more detailed information about the fund's performance. MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund The MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Class A Share (NAV*) returned 6.13 percent for the first six months of 2003, while the Class B Share (NAV*) generated a return of 5.77 percent. While delivering positive absolute returns to shareholders, the fund posted disappointing results relative to it's benchmark, which was up 11.76 percent for the first two quarters of 2003. According to Morningstar, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund (Class A Shares) landed in the top quartile or top 25 percent of its Morningstar/2/ Large Blend category peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2003. The co-portfolio managers' report will provide you with an in-depth analysis of those factors that contributed to the fund's performance over the first half of 2003. - ---------- * Returns shown are at Net Asset Value (NAV) and do not reflect the maximum front-end sales charge or applicable deferred sales charge. Please refer to each fund's individual performance overview section for more complete performance history. /1/ Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices. /2/ Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance as of 6/30/03. The ratings are subject to change every month. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar ratings are calculated from the fund's three-, five-, and 10-year average annual returns (if applicable) in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns with appropriate fee adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects fund performance below 90-day T-bill returns. The MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund (Class A and B Share) received 4 stars for the three-year period ending 6/30/03. The Class B Share received 3 stars for the five-year period ending 6/30/03. The Class A Share and Class B Share were rated among 1,037 Large-cap Blend funds for the three-year period ending 6/30/03. The Class B Share was rated among 717 Large-cap Blend funds for the five-year period ending 6/30/03. The overall rating is a weighted average of the 3, 5 and 10-year rating (where applicable). The top 10% of the funds in a broad asset class receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Morningstar proprietary rankings are as of June 30,2003. The MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund's Class A Shares was ranked 86 out of 1,323 and 19 out of 1,037 Large Blend Funds for the one-and three-year periods, respectively. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 3 MMA Praxis Value Index Fund The "other" domestic equity fund in the MMA Praxis family of mutual funds is the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund. This passively managed index fund posted some very strong performance numbers. Through the first six months of 2003, the Value Index Fund provided a return of 12.27 percent Class A Share (NAV*) and 12.03 percent Class B Share (NAV*) to investors. In comparison, the benchmark for the Value Index Fund, the Standard & Poor's 500/Barra Value Index/1/, was up 12.29 percent. In the 2001 semi-annual report to shareholders, we offered the following perspective on the Praxis Value Index Fund, which at that time was only two months old: We are excited about the long-term prospects for this newest MMA Praxis Fund offering. According to Ibbotson Associates, value stocks have delivered a substantial premium return over their growth stock counterparts over a long period of time. Additionally, we are coming off an extended period where growth stocks outperformed value. If history is a good predictor of the future (and there is no guarantee that it is), we may be poised for several years of value stocks delivering higher returns than growth securities. Value stocks have certainly outperformed their growth contemporaries over the past three years. Whether they continue to do so going forward is unknown. However, you may want to review this newest fund option with your financial advisor to see if it is an appropriate fit in your asset allocation strategy. MMA Praxis International Fund For patient fund investors who have held on to their foreign funds, it's been a long, difficult journey. According to Morningstar, the typical foreign stock fund hasn't earned a positive return since 1999. On average, foreign funds lost 4 percentage points more than the typical large-blend fund. However, during the second quarter, MMA Praxis International Fund delivered some strong positive returns. The MSCI AC Wld FR-(ex.-U.S.) Index/1/ was up 19.58 percent (in U.S. dollars) for the second quarter, a significant improvement from the first quarter's -7.39 percent drop. MMA Praxis International Fund Class A Share (NAV*) returned 4.95 percent for the first six months of 2003 and the Class B Share (NAV*) a slightly lower 4.70 percent. For the three-year period, the Fund placed in the bottom quartile (bottom 25 percent) among foreign stock funds as tracked by Morningstar/2/. - ---------- * Returns shown are at Net Asset Value (NAV) and do not reflect the maximum front-end sales charge or applicable deferred sales charge.

The MMA Praxis International Fund Class A Share and Class B Share received 2 stars for the three-year period ending 6/30/03. The Class B Share received 2 stars for the five-year period ending 6/30/03. The Class A Share and Class B Share were rated among 682 Foreign Stock funds for the three-year period ending 6/30/03.

Unlike nearly all other new tax laws, this act contains virtually no tax increases or bad news. In addition to adding some new tax relief provisions, the 2003 Act accelerates some of the future tax reductions that were contained in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. The impact of the new tax bill was a positive one for investors and does have some ramifications on asset allocation and portfolio management decisions. By lowering the tax rate on capital gains and most dividends, investors will receive higher after-tax returns. This justifies higher prices for stocks and helps explain some of the upward move in the stock market. Lower tax rates in general also benefit investors who hold interest-bearing assets. However, though rates have effectively dropped for all investments, they dropped more for capital gains and qualifying dividends thus benefiting stocks more than most other assets. At this point we don't view the tax changes as reasons to pursue certain types of investments over others. The market tends to adjust fairly quickly to relative opportunities. And while it's possible that high-dividend-paying stocks might outperform because of their tax-advantaged status, we're not so sure that this alone makes them more attractive. After all, all stocks are now on more of a level playing field when it comes to taxes. So taxes alone should not be the only consideration to prefer a dividend payer to a high grower. From an asset allocation perspective, now more than ever, investors with both taxable and retirement plan portfolios may benefit from emphasizing investments that throw off income taxed at high ordinary rates in their retirement plans. This means that portfolios could be much more tax efficient if bonds and real estate investments that throw off lots of short-term capital gains are in retirement plan accounts. Conclusion It's anybody's guess whether we are through the worst part of the current slowdown. However, what we do know is that a significant economic slowdown has occurred, that recoveries have followed slowdowns in the past, and that the Federal Reserve Board has taken aggressive action to stimulate growth into this slowdown. These are the things that should have investors focusing on the other side of the abyss! We thank you for your continued trust and confidence in MMA Praxis. We pledge our commitment to continue to work hard to generate competitive risk-adjusted returns for you, our shareholder. Of course, we will continue to pursue all of our investment decisions with careful regard for the stewardship investing principles that remain at the heart of our mission. Sincerely, /s/ John L.

MMA's online proxy voting records are also available--one year ahead of the Security and Exchange Commission's 2004 deadline. MMA believes that transparency and accountability within the financial services industry--particularly as it relates to the casting of proxy votes--is an important fiduciary responsibility. We are proud to make this information available to our shareholders, clients, and constituents. Shareholder advocacy update: 2003 This year's shareholder season has seen a heightened and more coordinated level of activity than in years past. Focused around the theme, "The things that make for peace," our efforts focused on ways our work for economic justice can lay the foundation for lasting peace in troubled regions of the world. This report contains an overview of our shareholder activities this season. A new shareholder advocacy section of the MMA Praxis Web site has updated information as well as helpful links to understanding many of the key issues. MMA is not responsible for all the shareholder activity listed below, but works in partnership with other religious institutional investors (through the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility) and socially concerned investors (through the Social Investment Forum.) Abbot Labs - Shareholder engagement with this company did not include the filing of a shareholder resolution in 2003, but favored the support of an ongoing dialogue with the company. The focus has been on encouraging the company to pursue new approaches to overcoming the limitations to access posed by current drug patent laws and on leveraging Abbot's substantial political clout and access to speed up Congressional implementation of President Bush's $15 billion commitment to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. BP - Plans are currently being made for a follow-up dialogue and interaction with BP representatives related to progress and concerns recently raised (by an Amnesty International Report) on the company's Baku-Tiblisi-Ceyhan pipeline project in the Caspian Sea in northwest Asia. The company has been open and forthright about its response to Amnesty charges and its interest in interacting with shareholders. Eli Lilly - A shareholder resolution on drug access related to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa was withdrawn in favor of dialogue. The focus of meetings with management has been on varying approaches to the patent issues in the pharmaceutical industry. Ford - A shareholder resolution seeking a report on the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on Ford's operations in Africa was withdrawn in favor of dialogue. The company has undertaken efforts to assess such impact and has met several times with shareholders. A new update is expected shortly. Kraft - While no resolution regarding the coffee crisis was filed with this company in 2003, the issues were raised at its recent company meeting. MMA - in partnership with Oxfam America - assisted a representative of an Ethiopian coffee cooperative in presenting a "grassroots" perspective on this crisis to shareholders, directors, and management at Kraft's April shareholder meeting. We expect a shareholder dialogue may be scheduled soon. 6 Illinois Tool Works - MMA co-filed a resolution at ITW seeking public disclosure of Equal Employment Opportunity data related to the composition of its workforce and diversity-related employment policies. This resolution has been withdrawn because the company has agreed to comply with the requests of shareholders. A new section of the company's Web site (Corporate Citizenship and Employee Relations) has already been launched and additional EEO data is available to shareholders upon request. Johnson & Johnson - A resolution, related to HIV/AIDS drug access in Africa, was withdrawn in favor of a dialogue. A presentation on this topic will be made at an upcoming board of directors meeting. The goal is to encourage partnership with other companies working in Africa, seeking more engagement with this issue overall. The company has dramatically increased its donations of drugs to partner organizations in Africa over the past several years. A separate dialogue focused on the recent release of J&J's first sustainability report and on efforts to assess the payment of living wages in it's Mexican factories, has proven fruitful with a number of substantial changes and new initiatives scheduled to be in place by 2004. Merck - A shareholder resolution, related to HIV/AIDS drug access in Africa, was withdrawn following a commitment by the company to engage its board on this topic and to participate in a series of dialogues with shareholders. There was also a presentation on this topic, by shareholders, at the company's annual meeting. The company has moved to "no profit" drug availability in Africa and has also launched an employer partnership program that ICCR is promoting to other multi-national employers. PepsiCo - MMA was lead filer (along with six co-filers) on an HIV/AIDS employer resolution at this company. The company demonstrated little interest in engaging shareholders and the resolution went to ballot at the company's May 7 annual meeting of shareholders. The resolution received 7.5 percent of the vote--an excellent showing for a first time resolution, and substantially more than the 3 percent required to bring the resolution back to Pepsi a second year. The resolution received the support of prominent, mainstream investors including CalPERS, the State of Connecticut, and the New York City Pension Fund. Shareholders representing a number of social concerns at PepsiCo are now working at coordinating their approaches to maximize impact and to seek to improve the company's processes for shareholder engagement. Pfizer - No resolution was filed in favor of the dialogue currently underway. This very politically powerful company is being asked to use its influence--publicly and privately--to press for speedy action around the U.S. Presidential commitment to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Pfizer is also highly influential in the pharmaceutical industry's collective approach to the issue of patents. It recently developed a program offering support to multi-national employers in Africa seeking to educate workers and provide HIV/AIDS treatments through plant medical facilities. ICCR members are pleased with this program and will promote it to major corporations active in Africa. Procter & Gamble - A resolution seeking creative solutions and concerted effort targeting the plight of 25 million coffee farmers struggling for survival with prices at a 70-year low has recently been withdrawn. P&G is one of the world's top five coffee bean purchasers. The withdrawal came in response to a surprisingly positive and aggressive proposal from the company. More information will be forthcoming. Sara Lee - A decision was made not to file a resolution related to the coffee crisis with this company, choosing to pursue dialogue instead. Shareholders, lead by MMA, have submitted a letter requesting dialogue with additional information from the company on its responses to the crisis in bulk coffee prices affecting 25 million coffee farmers. The goal is to encourage the company to deepen and formalize its response to this situation and to consider the increased use of Fair Trade Certified coffee as a part of its efforts to help stabilize the market. 7 Explore the MCC Coffee Project MMA is a co-sponsor of the coffee purchasing project headed up by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). The project seeks to encourage church members to purchase Fair Trade Coffee (for the home and congregation) and invites them to become involved in relevant advocacy at the governmental/inter-governmental level. This project provides high quality coffee to North American participants while ensuring that coffee farmers around the world are paid a price for their coffee that ensures they can provide for their families. MMA also is working to give shareholders the opportunity to encourage the companies we are engaged with to increase their response to the current global coffee crisis. Visit the MMA Praxis Web site for more information on, and links to, the MCC Coffee Project and other ways you can let your voice be heard. Community Development Investing news While asset levels inside MMA Community Development Investing's portfolios haven't been growing rapidly--tied as they are to the growth of MMA portfolios as a whole--some exciting new developments are being seen. New investments target fair trade and creative affordable housing. MMA CDI recently made a placement with SERRV International, a fair trade marketing and retail organization run under the Church of the Brethren, to help them expand their catalog and retail marketing operations--thereby helping expand the market for goods produced through fair trade cooperatives. A placement was also made with Common Ground, an innovative and highly respected developer of affordable housing in one of the world's toughest real estate markets--Manhattan, New York. It has recently launched efforts in other "high rent" urban communities in New York State. Charitable Giving Option slated for release in late 2003. While MMA CDI is not yet able to offer a means for individual investors to directly invest in our community investment portfolios, there is an important way individuals can soon be involved. Later this year, MMA CDI will launch MMA CDI Circle Trust. This will be a permanent pool of capital designed to dramatically expand MMA CDI's ability to accept additional investments--and dramatically increase the number of disadvantaged communities that can benefit from these investments. Each tax-deductible dollar donated to the Circle Trust will secure between 10 and 19 dollars of new investments for MMA CDI, ensuring our efforts to open doors of opportunity through community development investing. Watch the MMA Web site for news of the launch of the Circle Trust later this year. New database profiles MMA's community development investments. A recently launched database, found in the community development investing section of the MMA Praxis Web site, lets shareholders see just where MMA CDI is investing. The new database offers access to financial summaries, organizational profiles, and stories from individuals whose lives are being improved by the work of these vibrant community development organizations. Learn more about institutions from 20 states and seven foreign countries now represented in MMA CDI's portfolios. Mark A.

The 10-year Treasury, which began the year yielding 3.82 percent, dropped to 3.11 percent in early June before moving up to finish the first half of 2003 with a yield of 3.52 percent. The Federal Reserve Board recently made several statements indicating that while the risk of deflation is remote, it is indeed a risk to be concerned about. On June 25, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") cut the Fed Funds rate to 1.0 percent, a 45-year low, and commented that: "the probability, though minor, of an unwelcome fall in inflation exceeds that of a pickup in inflation from its already low level." MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund invests mainly in high-quality corporate, mortgage, and agency securities. The fund typically doesn't stray too far from the duration of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index./1/ Nonetheless, the fund's duration was slightly shorter than the duration of the index during the second quarter, which was a slight negative in a declining rate environment. Corporate bond spreads continued to narrow during the year, which helped the fund's performance. The spread refers to the difference between the yield on a corporate bond versus the yield on a similar maturity Treasury. The spread narrowing has the effect of increasing the market value of the corporate bond relative to the value of a Treasury security. The portfolio, which holds over 40 percent in corporate bonds versus the aggregate exposure of 27 percent, will tend to outperform during periods of spread narrowing. Within the corporate bond exposure of the fund are select investments in high-yield securities, which have strong cashflow and prospects for rating improvement. The fund also gains added exposure to high-yield securities through a socially responsible mutual fund, PAX World High Yield Fund (1.96% of net assets)./2/ High-yield bonds continued to be one of the top-performing asset class in 2003. Looking to the second half of 2003, its show-me time for earnings and the economy. The equity market jumped in the second quarter partially from the decrease in geopolitical risk but mainly from the prospects of better earnings in the second half of the year. While we expect the economy to continue to grow in the second half, and at a quicker pace than in the first half, there is a good chance Wall Street estimates of Gross Domestic Product/1/ growth and earnings are higher than what will transpire. Growth in the second half could be helped by the combined forces of fiscal and monetary stimulus. A fresh wave of tax cuts will put more money in paychecks beginning in July, while low interest rates allow for even more refinancing activity. Corporations have also taken advantage of low rates to lower their debt service burden. - ---------- /1/ Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices. /2/ Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy securities. 10 On the flipside, growth in the second half could be hurt by prolonged modest capital investment by corporations. Capacity is still greater than demand. It will take a sustained increase in business activity to cause businesses to increase capital stock and payrolls. As a result, employment, consumer sentiment, and personal spending will most likely not appreciate considerably before year-end. The key time for the markets will be in October. As is typical, this is when volatility picks up as corporations report on the first three quarters and provide guidance on the fourth and final quarter for the year.

The above indicies are for illustrative purposes only and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. However, the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Bond Funds Average does reflect the expenses associated with the mutual funds found in the Lipper category. The fund's performance reflects the deduction of these value-added services. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities. 13 Schedule of portfolio investments MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund Schedule of portfolio investments June 30, 2003 (Unaudited) PRINCIPAL AMOUNT VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (0.6%) Fannie Mae, Series 1997-M4, Class C, 7.35%, 8/17/18, ACES ........... $ 479,664 $ 515,624 TOTAL COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS .............................. 515,624 ---------- CORPORATE BONDS (44.1%) AGRICULTURAL SERVICES (0.4%) Cargill, Inc., 7.50%, 9/1/26 ........................................ 250,000 305,313 ---------- ASSET BACKED SECURITIES (4.0%) American Express Master Trust, Series 1994-3, Class A, 7.85%, 8/15/05 .......................................................... 250,000 269,709 Capital One Master Trust, 5.43%, 1/15/07 ............................ 500,000 507,590 Discover Card Master Trust, 6.85%, 7/17/07 .......................... 500,000 541,265 Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 2001-5, Class A, 5.30%, 11/16/06 ......................................................... 1,000,000 1,035,169 Fleet Credit Card Master Trust II, Class A, 5.60%, 12/15/08 ......... 250,000 270,368 MBNA Credit Card Master Note Trust, Series 2003-A1, 3.30%, 7/15/10 .. 300,000 307,799 Regions Auto Receivables Trust, 2.63%, 1/16/07 ...................... 300,000 305,448 ---------- 3,237,348 ---------- AUTOMOTIVE (0.3%) Lear Corp., Series B, 8.11%, 5/15/09 ................................ 200,000 229,000 Broadcasting/Cable (0.8%) ...........................................

See notes to financial statements. 24 MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Semi-annual report to shareholders Portfolio managers' letter At the beginning of the year we wrote about the prospects of war, a weak economy, and the continuing aftermath of the speculative bubble. Not exactly the stuff of a strong stock market rally, but what a rally it has been. Since its most recent low on March 11, the S&P 500 Index/1/ has rallied 21.7 percent. Reasons for the rally are many, but it all started with investors' early perception of success of the U.S. military campaign in Iraq. The rally might have fizzled with the fall of Baghdad in early April, but companies soon began reporting stronger-than-expected profits for the first quarter. These profit surprises came mostly as a result of strong cost controls and productivity gains because of slimmed-down payrolls, but they were profits nonetheless. The positive profit news caused investor sentiment to shift from overwhelmingly negative to giddily positive in a short period of time. Company news that only a few months earlier would have sent the market lower was shrugged off as irrelevant. As sentiment shifted, cash flowed into stock funds inducing investment managers to buy stocks. Hedge fund managers, who had been short stocks (the act of borrowing and selling stocks in anticipation of buying them later at lower prices, thus "covering" their short positions) began to cover their positions to avoid losses, creating even more buying pressure. Oil prices continued to fall from their pre-war highs, and lower interest rates encouraged investors to bid stocks higher since future earnings could be discounted at lower rates. Also, bond investors became wary that the debt rally might be running out of steam. With rates so low and bond prices so high, many began to view stocks as comparatively more promising investments. Finally, the tax plan passed by Congress primed the economic pump even more, increasing the expectation that the U.S. economy was ripe for a second-half recovery. Missing from the second quarter's strong performance was widespread improvement in corporate revenue growth. Most companies are still cautious about the rest of the year. The proof of the current rally will be in the ability of companies to deliver the performance that investors have already factored into stock prices. Portfolio review MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund benefited from the many positive stimuli discussed above, but disproportionately less than the market indexes. A number of factors negatively impacted the fund's relative performance even as the fund's holdings rose along with the equity markets. While the fund held some stocks with very strong performance during the quarter, it didn't own enough of them. Dollar General (1.44% of net assets as of 6/30/03), AOL Time Warner (0.81%), Sun Microsystems (0.36%), Chubb (1.87%), Cisco (1.40%), and Intel (1.55%) all generated impressive gains (from 25 percent to 50 percent), but none of them were among our top 10 holdings. By contrast, some of the fund's largest holdings didn't participate in - ---------- /1/ Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

Investment return and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 25 the rally. Microsoft (2.74%), Fannie Mae (2.92%), and Procter & Gamble (2.83%) were up only modestly while Johnson & Johnson (3.08%) traded down over 10 percent in marked contrast to many of its brethren in the healthcare sector. Among the first group of strong performers, semiconductors, brokers, and certain industrial stocks did very well as they normally do when the market rises from a sharp bottom. The fund's portfolio has some exposure to each of these areas of the market, but failed to hold enough of these types of stocks to keep up. The second group of strong performers, those that were most beaten down during the bear market, included stocks like Lucent, Nortel, JDS Uniphase, and Corning that all recovered from very low, lows after the bottom fell out of the telecommunications equipment market. While the fund owned some of these stocks in the past, they were sold earlier in the bear market on concerns that their recovery was a long way off. Despite their stock price success, these companies continue to struggle in what the CEO of Tellabs recently called "a sick industry." Stocks in the utility sector also rebounded tremendously from their lows. Williams Companies, which we have written about in the past, recovered from the brink of insolvency late last year to generate a 190 percent return in the second quarter. We sold Williams last November on concern about the company's lack of liquidity. Others in the group including Dynegy, AES, and Calpine all recovered by over 100 percent during the quarter./2/ Finally, some sectors like homebuilding and biotechnology stocks did very well because the conditions were just right. The homebuilders have been on a tear since early in the fourth quarter of 2002, fueled by low mortgage rates and widespread consolidation in the homebuilding industry. The fund has exposure to the homebuilding industry through Masco Corporation (2.23%) that generates roughly 40 percent of its revenues by selling products and providing installation services for the building of new homes. Masco joined in the rally, trading up 29 percent during the quarter./2/ Biotechnology companies also performed relatively better than pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, to the fund's disadvantage. Companies like Medimmune, Amgen, and Genzyme all generated returns greater than 30 percent during the quarter. By contrast, the fund's holdings in medical technology companies like Medtronic (3.05%) and Biomet (1.74%) trailed, while its largest holdings in the pharmaceutical sector like Pfizer (3.60%) and Merck (1.97%) generated solid, but not stellar, returns. Johnson & Johnson registered a loss of 10.3 percent for the quarter as investors, in a counter-intuitive move, sold off the stock after J&J released its much-anticipated new drug-coated stent./2/ Transactions During the first half of the year we added three very strong companies to the fund's portfolio, each market leaders in their own right, at valuations that we believe give the fund room to generate healthy returns. Sysco Corp (1.06%) is first and foremost a food distribution company that focuses on independent restaurants but also serves chains, hospitals, hotels, and other institutions. Strong margins on its own brands and opportunities to consolidate a very fragmented food distribution market in the U.S. give Sysco plenty of room to grow. We started a position when it traded lower in March as investors learned of accounting problems at Sysco's smaller rival, U.S. Foodservice. We also purchased Dover Corporation (1.28%), a diversified manufacturing company whose 50 companies are usually No. 1 or No. 2 in their niche markets. The company has a history of - ---------- /2/ Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy individual securities. 26 acquiring strong companies, retaining management, and operating a very decentralized organization. Despite aggressive restructuring, the company has suffered from low sales growth over the last two years. We used this opportunity to purchase a company with strong prospects for growth as the economy recovers, but which was trading at depressed levels./2/ More recently, we purchased 3M Company (0.44%), a diversified technology and chemical company with leading positions in health care, safety, electronics, telecommunications, industrial, consumer and office, and other markets. We expect the operational improvements made under new management over the last few years will continue./2/ In a general sense, we positioned the fund's portfolio during the first half of the year with the expectation that the economy would slowly recover. The fund owned stocks that we thought would do well in this positive, but relatively lukewarm, scenario. To date, the economy appears to be on a modest upward trajectory like we expected, but investors as a whole are clearly anticipating a significantly better recovery in the economy and corporate earnings in the second half of the year. Outlook Second quarter corporate earnings appear to be coming in with a positive bias, though some companies are still struggling. According to Thomson First Call, companies made fewer negative preannouncements about their second quarter earnings than they did in the first quarter, suggesting that business is improving. We expect the economy to remain on an improving trend due to very expansionary fiscal and monetary policies. Because of this, we anticipate adding to the fund's holdings in the industrial sector, which we believe has yet to participate fully in the stock market rally. We conclude with a word about what we have been doing in the face of our poor relative performance during the first half of the year. First, we are not changing our basic view on what constitutes a good long-term investment. We continue to look for well-managed companies that are gaining market share and that are trading at reasonable valuations relative to their earning power. Second, we have redoubled our efforts with respect to evaluating the fund's holdings. We are asking ourselves questions like: .. Why did we buy this stock in the first place? ..

All but 30 stocks in the S&P 500 Index/1/ rose during the second quarter. So-called value stocks performed slightly better because it was stocks that were most beaten down during the bear market that performed best over the last three-and-a-half months. As the second quarter commenced, many of these stocks traded at low levels not seen since before the rally of the 1990s. While they have recovered to some extent, they remain well below the highs they reached in early 2000. Other traditional value stocks in the industrial sector also performed strongly on the expectation that the economy would continue to improve, leading to higher profits. MMA Praxis Value Index Fund performed roughly in-line with its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500/Barra Value Index/1/, for the first half of the year. In short, the fund continues to behave as expected by representing the performance of large cap value stocks in the U.S. stock market. As a passively-managed index fund, we do not explicitly manage the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund on a daily basis. 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.

Investment returns and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower. * Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 5.25%. ** Reflects applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00%. /1/ The Standard & Poor's 500/Barra Value Index is an unmanaged index and is constructed by dividing the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index into two categories, growth and value, according to price-to-book ratios. This index is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The fund's performance reflects the deductions of these value-added services. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities. 41 Schedule of portfolio investments MMA Praxis Value Index Fund Schedule of portfolio investments June 30, 2003 (Unaudited) SHARES VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON STOCKS (99.0%) ADVERTISING AGENCIES (0.2%) Interpublic Group of Co., Inc. ....................... 3,985 $ 53,319 ---------- AIRLINES (0.5%) Southwest Airlines Co ................................ 7,348 126,386 ---------- APPAREL MANUFACTURERS (0.2%) Jones Apparel Group, Inc.

The long, slow march to war in Iraq took its toll on in the first three months of 2003, but then investors got a welcome combination of good karma and good numbers in the second quarter of 2003 resulting in a sharp upturn in markets. Sentiment was buoyed by the decisive coalition military victory in Iraq and the decline of SARS as an agent of fear. Importantly, however, stronger fundamental data began to accumulate to give substance to increasing investor optimism. In the U.S., growing liquidity, increased bank lending to businesses, and rising industrial commodity prices all supported the notion that the dormant economy was waking. Abroad, confidence surveys in Japan and a number of European countries showed improving conditions, the European consumer began to show signs of life, and government and central bank policy responses provided hope that Europe in particular would rebound alongside the U.S. It looks as if the markets have regained their nerve. The MSCI AC Wld Fr-ex. U.S./1/ Index rose 10.74 percent in U.S. dollar terms during the six months ending June 30, 2003. The fund underperformed its benchmark during this volatile time period. While the success of the value sector continues to provide a style headwind for the fund, there was a significant shift within the value sector that suggests that investor risk appetite has finally begun to repair during the second quarter of 2003. The MSCI AC Wld Fr-ex. U.S. Index rose 19.58 percent in U.S. dollar terms during second quarter, 2003, led by the value sector, which returned 22.30 percent, while the growth sector rose 16.80 percent. The fund underperformed the broad index and outperformed growth shares during the quarter. It was the low-quality segments of the financial and technology sectors of the value universe, where many stocks had been priced for bankruptcy, and not the perceived safe industries that gave value its advantage in the second quarter. This is a significant change from the bear market years, and a strong indication that risk appetite is returning to markets. As that appetite matures, the market's time horizon may naturally lengthen and investors could bring a more nuanced attitude toward earnings to their valuation of stocks. Indeed, June's rambunctious reach for risk appears to be evolving into a deeper consideration of earnings potential as July unfolds. In the meantime, we have already seen a substantial improvement in June in your portfolio's performance relative to the broad benchmark and the narrower style benchmark. Some of the sources of underperformance in the first quarter still lingered to have an impact on performance for the six month time period ending June 30, 2003. Wolters Kluwer, the Dutch media company that publishes a variety of trade journals, fell 75 percent during the first half of 2003, and detracted from relative performance. Investors were disappointed at the company's choice of a new CEO, an internal promotion. For our part, we were disappointed at the lack of progress on earnings from the company's online business, and we sold the position out of the fund. Italian energy company ENI (3.73% of net assets) detracted from performance (-40 percent), as did Japanese retailer Ito-Yokdo (1.35%) (-47 percent). Some of the sources of underperformance in the first quarter have reversed themselves in the second quarter--a reminder of the ongoing volatility in markets today and an indication of how difficult it is to assess investment decisions on a short-term basis in these markets. Scandinavian telecom operator TeliaSonera (1.03%) (2 percent for the 6-month period and 46 percent for second quarter) caught the market's eye and helped the fund. Telecom companies have generated substantial cash flow even during the bear market, and have been paying down debt. Those cash flows now stand to benefit equity holders, and the market is finally focusing on this earnings story. - ---------- /1/ Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices. 56 A look at stock selection for the second quarter shows how the market's attitude has changed and why we are excited about our prospects in this environment. For example, French retailer Pinault-Printemps-Redoute (1.12%) was up 50.1 percent during the second quarter of 2003. Until recently, retailers could not get a second look from markets because no one was willing to bet on a healthy consumer. But events of the second quarter finally convinced investors that the global economy was not going over a cliff, and a number of long-ignored opportunities began to return to the market radar screen. German auto giant Volkswagen (2.09%) (up 12 percent for the six-month period and up 37 percent for the second quarter) was one of those opportunities in your fund. The stock is historically cheap, trading at barely half of book value, and we expect several new model introductions to spur strong earnings growth. The German auto fleet is unusually old, at more than seven years, and the consumer just might use some of the new German income tax cut to buy a new car; Volkswagen represents another example of how the market's attitude toward risk and earnings is changing for the better, and helping your fund. The capital markets appear to be coming around to the view that a healthy global economy, supported by a synchronized recovery in 2004, is a strong possibility after all. The weaker dollar has prompted the European Central Bank to ease, the Federal Reserve Board continues to supply liquidity, and corporate bond yields have fallen, so money is abundant and cheap. Industrial commodity prices suggest a firming of underlying demand. And perhaps most encouraging of all, Japanese bond yields hint at the fading of deflationary fears as they rise rapidly from below 0.5 percent to more than 1 percent. We do not foresee an unusually robust recovery, but neither have we felt that a crushing deflationary spiral was on the cards. The market is beginning to agree. In this environment, we see particularly exciting return potential in two areas. In Asia, we find that most markets still trade on depressed valuations--single digit Price/Earnings ratios/1/, in many cases--six years after the Asian debt crisis first began to roil markets. Meanwhile, there is strong economic growth, both domestically and in export markets, exporters benefit greatly from the decline in the U.S. dollar's value, the stock markets are heavily underowned, there are enormous quantities of cash on the sidelines, and some of the world's most cost-competitive and technologically-proficient companies show significant earnings growth potential unrecognized by markets. We are building Asian positions in your fund. We also seek opportunities in Germany, where the government finally shows signs of pushing for the vital structural reforms it needs in addition to the income tax cut we described earlier. These investment themes have already helped your fund in the latter part of the second quarter, and they are partly responsible for the recent improvement in your performance against your benchmark. With the combination of low valuations, positive earnings momentum and improving sentiment that we see today and have not seen for years, however, we fully anticipate these themes to contribute much more to your fund in the months ahead.

See notes to financial statements. 69 Notes to financial statements MMA Praxis Mutual Funds Notes to financial statements June 30, 2003 (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"). 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 serving agreements, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. 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 of America. 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 applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Risk Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies: Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain rists 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 70 MMA Praxis Mutual Funds Notes to financial statements, continued June 30, 2003 (Unaudited) 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 securties of issuers from developing countries. Foreign Currency Translation: The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities of the International Fund and the Value Index 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 at 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 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 aproved by the Board of Trustees (the "Valuation Procedures"). The Valuation 71 MMA Praxis Mutual Funds Notes to financial statements, continued June 30, 2003 (Unaudited) Procedures contemplate the Board's deligation 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 will report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of resticted securites 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 and 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 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. 72 MMA Praxis Mutual Funds Notes to financial statements, continued June 30, 2003 (Unaudited) Federal Income Taxes: It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies 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 six months ended June 30, 2003, custodian fees and expenses paid by third parties were $3,628, $1,368 and $4,028 for the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund and the Value Index Fund, respectively. There was no effect on net investment income. The Funds could have invested such cash amounts in an income producing asset if they had not agreed to a reduction of fees or expenses under the expense offset arrangement with their custodian. 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities: Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 were as follows: Purchases Sales ----------- ----------- Intermediate Income Fund ........................... $25,799,209 $17,793,873 Core Stock Fund .................................... 6,697,021 2,099,352 Value Index Fund ................................... 6,663,273 2,030,014 International Fund ................................. 25,444,442 23,079,092 4. Related Party Transactions: Menno Insurance Service, Inc. d/b/a MMA Capital Management, (the "Adviser") (a separate corporate entity controlled by Mennonite Mutual Aid, Inc.), provides investment advisory services to the Trust. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows; 0.50% for the Intermediate Income Fund, 0.74% for the Core Stock; 0.30% for the Value Index Fund and 0.90% for the International Fund. Oechsle International Advisors, LLC, serves as the sub-adviser to the International Fund. The Adviser entered into an expense limitation agreement until April 30, 2004 pursuant to which the Adviser agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. Each Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser pur- 73 MMA Praxis Mutual Funds Notes to financial statements, continued June 30, 2003 (Unaudited) suant to this expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of Class A and Class B of each Fund to exceed 0.85% and 1.30% for the Intermediate Income Fund, 1.25% and 1.90% for the Core Stock Fund, 0.95% and 1.50% for the Value Index Fund, and 1.50% and 2.15% for the International Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Fund reimbursed the Adviser fees of $217,119 for the Intermediate Income Fund, $282,095 for the Core Stock Fund, $43,120 for the Value Index Fund and $246,877 for the International Fund. BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership d/b/a BISYS Fund Services ("BISYS"), an Ohio limited partnership, serves the Company as administrator. Under the terms of the administration agreement, BISYS receives fees of 0.15% that are computed daily at an annal rate of each Fund's average daily net assets, subject to an annual minimum. Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Trust and BISYS, BISYS serves as the Funds' distributor ("Distributor"). Under a distribution (12b-1) plan adopted by the Trust, each Fund pays the Distributor, an aggregate fee not to exceed on an annual basis 0.50% of the average daily net assets of such Fund's Class A Shares. The Distributor may use up to 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.25% for distribution. Each Fund pays BISYS an aggregate fee not to exceed on an annual basis 1.00% of the average daily net assets of such Fund's Class B Shares. The Distributor may incur 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.75% for distribution.
