REYNOLDS BALANCED FUND

The Reynolds Balanced Fund is the successor to the Reynolds U. S. Government Bond Fund and its new investment objectives are “Seeking Capital Appreciation and Income”. The Balanced Fund is designed to satisfy many of the income objectives of our investors. The Balanced Fund will invest in both fixed income securities and common stocks, most of which provide dividend income. Most of the time, the Balanced Fund’s portfolio will consist of 20% to 80% fixed income securities and 20% to 80% equity securities. The fixed income portion of the portfolio emphasizes quality investments in U.S. Treasury and Federal Agency Bonds (issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank - FHLB, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. - FHLMC and Federal National Mortgage Association - FNMA), Treasury Notes and Treasury Bills of varying maturities. The Balanced Fund is actively managed and the fixed income portion of the Fund is invested in bonds having different maturities, which reduces the risk that a large percentage of the bonds in the Fund mature at an inopportune time for reinvestment. The average maturity of the bonds in the Fund is continually reevaluated and adjusted based on short- and long-term economic, inflation, and interest rate forecasts. Common stocks will be evaluated based on current earnings and dividends and the future earnings prospects for the companies. The portfolio will be diversified by industry and generally include companies with larger market capitalizations.

As of September 30, 2005 the Fund’s investments were 53.6% fixed income securities (bonds), 44.8% equity securities and 1.6% short-term money market instruments and receivables. The Fund’s total return was 2.15% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005.
