Item 1.  Reports to Stockholders.




Dear Fellow Shareholders,


February 29, 2012 marked the end of our thirteenth fiscal year, a period in which the economy and stock market continued their recoveries, albeit at a slower pace. For the Fund's fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, the Fund achieved a total return of 3.47% vs. 5.12% over the same period for our benchmark index, the S&P 500. We believe that the fund lagged the benchmark index during this period because the latter continued a process of “catching up” during the market recovery.

A few highlights once again confirm the fundamental strength of our strategy, which is to manage the fund efficiently from the point of view of expenses, while maximizing dividend income, and investing consistently in companies whose products have the widest popular appeal.

1.

We surpassed the $1 million mark in dividends and interest received for the fourth straight year, receiving $1,097,004, up 8.26% from $1,013,286 a year earlier. Most of the component companies continued to increase dividend payouts.

2.

Fund performance again benefited from the tight lid we kept on expenses, which totaled $343,084, decreasing the expense ratio from 0.89% to 0.88%. By paying for services at established prices instead of a percentage of the fund’s NAV, the Fund can grow without increasing expenses. Any continuing market recovery or increase in subscriptions should further reduce the expense ratio.

3.

We paid an annual dividend of 23.81¢ per share, which was up 20.2% from the previous 19.81¢. Since inception, the fund has paid a total of $2.78921 per share in dividends and capital gains distributions.

4.

We limited portfolio turnover to 8.60%, up slightly from 6.39% a year earlier, despite the process of adding new components Comcast, Owens & Minor, PepsiCo, and Waste Management.

We think that our recent results continue to confirm the validity of our fundamental approach, which is to continually build up holdings in a widely diversified portfolio of stocks that offer direct investing during a variety of investment climates. As we begin another year of operations, we believe that market volatility is likely to continue. However, our focus remains on the long term, during which we believe that the wisdom of owning high-quality companies, reinvesting dividends in the companies that paid them, and spreading investment funds among component companies on a relatively even basis will continue to be profitable.

Once again, we congratulate DRIPX shareholders for their discipline and patience, and hope that you will join us in continuing to add to your holdings on a regular basis, allowing us to take advantage of what we believe are exceptional opportunities in the stock market over the long term.

This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on the closing of February 28, 2002. Total return is based on the net change in NAV and assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions.  Performance figures represent past performance which is not predictive of future performance.   Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.


The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) is a market value-weighted index, representing the aggregate market value of the common equity of 500 stocks primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange.  The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices.  The figures for the S&P 500 reflect all dividends reinvested but do not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.


The performance information shown represents past performance and should not be interpreted as indicative of the Fund's future performance. The performance also reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions.  The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

THE MP63 FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FEBRUARY 29, 2012


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION


The MP63 Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a Maryland Corporation, incorporated on October 13, 1998, and registered as an open-end, diversified, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Fund's business and affairs are managed by its officers under the direction of its Board of Directors.  The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation for shareholders.


NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).


A.

Security Valuation - Portfolio securities traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price or a market’s official close price on the day of valuation. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not considered readily available are valued at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors. Portfolio companies during this reporting period are all widely traded and pricing information is readily available.


Mutual Funds must utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:


Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.


Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.


Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuating the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.


To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3. However, the inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.


The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of February 29, 2012:

B.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.


C.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund complies with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, distributing all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for Federal income tax is required.  There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements in connection with tax positions taken by the Fund.  The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.  There are currently no open tax years prior to February 28, 2008 and the Fund had no income tax related penalties or interest in these financial statements.


D.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund records dividends and distributions to shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Fund will distribute its net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually.


E.

Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Fund to credit risk include cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits.


F.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement") with The Moneypaper Advisor, Inc. (the "Advisor").  Under this Agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with investment advice and supervises the Fund's investments.  As compensation for the services rendered, the Fund pays the Advisor a fee accrued daily based on an annualized rate of .35% of the daily net asset value.  For the year ended February 29, 2012, the Advisor earned fees of $136,985.  At February 29, 2012 the Fund owed the Advisor $9,286 for advisory fees.  


The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to defer its fee and to reimburse the Fund for other expenses if the total operating expenses of the Fund exceed an annual rate of 1.25% of average daily net assets.  Under the terms of the Agreement, fees deferred or expenses reimbursed are subject to reimbursement by the Fund, if so requested by the Advisor, up to three fiscal years from the fiscal year the fee or expense was incurred. However, no reimbursement payment will be made by the Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding the voluntary expense limitation described above.


The Fund has an administrative agreement with Mutual Shareholder Services (The "Administrator"). Under this agreement, the Administrator provides the Fund with administrative, transfer agency, and fund accounting services.  Mutual Shareholder Services charges an annual fee of approximately $51,000 for services rendered based on the Fund’s current asset size.  


An affiliate of the Advisor provides certain administrative services to the Fund. These expenses amounted to $42,000 during the year ended February 29, 2012.  At February 29, 2012, the Fund owed $3,337 for administrative services.  


Vita Nelson is an officer and director of the Advisor and also an officer and director of the Fund.  The Fund currently pays each Independent Director an annual retainer of $2,000.  For the year ended February 29, 2012 the Fund incurred $6,270 in director fees.   


The Chief Compliance Officer is paid $1,000 per month.  For the year ended February 29, 2012 the Chief Compliance Officer expenses incurred to the Fund amounted to $12,034.



NOTE 4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS


For the year ended February 29, 2012, purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, aggregated $3,368,373 and $5,476,198, respectively. Cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) amounted to the following: Unrealized appreciation $9,734,709 Unrealized depreciation (2,157,744), Net unrealized appreciation $7,576,965.


For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at February 29, 2012 was $31,944,532.


NOTE 5.  TAX INFORMATION


Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary.  Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gain as ordinary income for tax purposes.


As of February 29, 2012, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Ordinary income $97,477, Long term loss $(43,598) Unrealized appreciation $9,734,709 Unrealized depreciation (2,157,744).


The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $653,859 Long term capital gains 0


The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $753,469 Long term capital gains 0


An Ordinary income distribution of $0.1981 per share was paid out on December, 30, 2010.  

An Ordinary income distribution of $0.2381 per share was paid out on December, 29, 2011.  


NOTE 6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.  Based upon this evaluation, the Fund has determined no subsequent events have occurred which would require disclosure in the financial statements.  


NOTE 7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT


In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.


NOTE 8. SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING


On September 19, 2011, a special meeting of the shareholders of the MP63 Fund was held at the office of the MSS office.  The purpose of the special meeting was to solicit shareholder approval of a new Management Agreement related to the Fund.  Shareholders of record on July 29, 2011 were entitled to vote at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.  The proposed new Management Agreement was identical in all material aspects to the existing Management Agreement, however, shareholder approval was sought because a lapse in the Adviser’s registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission had occurred on February 14, 2011, thereby terminating the existing Management Agreement.  Shareholders were also asked to approve the payment to the Adviser of the accrued, but unpaid, advisory fees from the date of the termination of the Adviser’s status as a federally registered investment adviser to the date of the approval of the Management Agreement.  At the September 19, 2011 meeting the shareholders overwhelmingly approved the new Management Agreement and the payment of the accrued management fees from February 14, 2011 to September 19, 2011.  


At the meeting a quorum of shareholders of the Fund was present either in person or by proxy, with 53.41% of the outstanding shares as of July 29, 2011 represented by proxy. The following votes were recorded:  On Proposal 1 to approve a new management agreement with Moneypaper Advisor, Inc., an affirmative vote of 1,699,279.700 shares, or 98.61%, was received and a negative vote of 23,952.934 shares, or 1.39%, was received. As a result, Proposal 1 was passed.


On Proposal 2 to approve the payment to the Advisor of advisory fees from February 14, 2011 through September 19, 2011, an affirmative vote of 1,589,165.135, or 92.22% was received and a negative vote of 134,067.499 shares, or 7.78% was received. As a result, Proposal 2 was passed.


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

The MP63 Fund, Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The MP63 Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments as of February 29, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 29, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The MP63 Fund, Inc. as of February 29, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION


Expense Example

As a shareholder of the MP63 Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b-1) fees; and other Fund 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.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, September 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012.

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, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this 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 ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. 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 this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.


(a)

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party.  A copy of registrant’s code of ethics will be provided to any person who requests it, without charge.  To receive a copy of the registrant's code of ethics, write to the Fund at MP63 Fund, Inc., 555 Theodore Fremd Avenue, Rye, NY  10580.  A copy will be sent to you within three (3) business days of receipt of your request.

(1)

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

(2)

Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the registrant;

All Other Fees.  No fees were billed in either of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item.


(e)(1)

The Audit Committee of The MP63 Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund's independent accountants.  As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm's engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant's independence. The Committee's evaluation will be based on:


>   a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided,

>   review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

>   periodic meetings with the accounting firm.


POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUNDS


On an annual basis, the scope of audits for the Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent  accountants.  Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor's independence.  The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.
