Dear shareholders of Stock Dividend Fund, Inc.,
The Fund ended the first six months of 2006 with a Net Asset Value per
share of $21.88, up from a Net Asset Value per share of $21.05 at the

beginning of the year and $3,574,990 as of June 30, 2006.
For the period December 31, 2005 through June 30, 2006 the Fund's total
return was 3.94% versus the S&P 500 of 2.73%.
We look forward to completing another year with excellent absolute and
relative returns utilizing our value strategy.
Sincerely,
Laura S. Adams
President
STOCK DIVIDEND FUND, INC.
EXPENSES
JUNE 30, 2006
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs including
management fees and other operating expenses. This example is intended
to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in
the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing
in other mutual funds. This example is based on an investment of
$1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire
six month period of December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual
account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in
this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of
the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,500
account value divided by $1,000 equals 8.5), then multiply this result
by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the
period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about
hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the
Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per
year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The
hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate
the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing
in the Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical
example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight
your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such
as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing
costs only.

*Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.85%,
multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by
181 days/365 days to reflect the one-half year period.
** Hypothetical return assumes 5% return before expenses.

STOCK DIVIDEND FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Stock Dividend Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in the
State of Texas on April 06, 2004 and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end
management investment company. The investment objective of the
Fund is to achieve growth and income by investing primarily in
dividend paying common stocks. The Fund had no operations until
June 11, 2004, when it sold 7,500 shares of its common stock to its
original shareholder, Mrs. Laura S. Adams. Investment operations
commenced on December 27, 2004. The effective date of the Fund's
registration with the SEC was November 29, 2004.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Security Valuation
Securities listed on a national securities exchange or in the over-
the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales price on the
day of valuation, or if no quoted sales price was reported on that
date, the last quoted bid price. Short-term investments are valued
at cost which approximates fair value. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at their estimated
fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Board of
Directors.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses
are determined on a specific identification basis of the securities
sold. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the appreciation
and depreciation of securities carrying values are included in the
statements of operations.
Distribution of Income and Gains
The Fund declares and pays dividends annually from net investment
income and from net realized gains, if any. Distributions from
realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital
gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
STOCK DIVIDEND FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including
any realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore,
no federal income tax provision is required.
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and the
cost of investments in securities may differ for financial
statement and income tax purposes. The character of distributions
from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from
their ultimate characterization for income tax purposes. At June
30, 2006, there were no material differences. Also, due to the
timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts
are distributed may differ from the year that the income or
realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
3. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Capital Share transactions in the Fund's $0.001 par value common
stock were as follows:
Period from
December 31, 2005

securities, excluding short-term investments, aggregated $1,061,743
and $152,058, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2006.
The aggregate cost of investment securities for federal income tax
purposes was $3,438,234 as of June 30, 2006.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5. DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS
On December 31, 2005 a distribution of $0.48 per share aggregating
$59,449 was paid to the shareholders of record on that date from
net investment income. There have been no distributions in 2006 as
of June 30, 2006.
6. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund and the Advisor are under common control and the existence
of that control may create operating results and financial position
significantly different than if they were autonomous.
The Fund has entered into an agreement with Adams Asset Advisors,
LLC (the "Advisor") to provide investment advisory services to the
Fund. Laura S. Adams is the managing member of the Advisor and is
an officer, director and shareholder of the Fund. Under the terms
of the agreement, the Fund will pay the Advisor a monthly fee at
the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The fee is computed daily and payable monthly. The Advisor has
contractually agreed to pay all operating expenses of the Fund,
except brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes and
extraordinary expenses.
The Advisor acts as the transfer agent for the Fund.
