ANNUAL REPORT







Prasad Growth Fund























March 31, 2004














Letter to the Shareholders



Dear Shareholders,


It is indeed my great pleasure in writing this annual letter on 3/31/04 as the fiscal year ends for Prasad Growth Fund. I am quite pleased about the performance of the Fund in the last twelve months. Since 3/31/03 to 3/31/04 the Net Asset Value (NAV) went up by 56.06% and during the same period, S&P 500 went up by 32.78% and NASDAQ Composite went up by 48.69%. Another good news is that Bloomberg.com ranked Prasad Growth Fund as number one among 1520 domestic equity funds in the last quarter of 2003 and 101 for the year of 2003!


Dr. Bart DiLiddo states that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is undervalued by 39% and the market as a whole is undervalued by 14.8%. According to him the investment climate is good and we have a bull market scenario with increasing earnings and inflation while the interest rates are low.


According to Mr. Donald H. Rowe the Federal Reserve Bank has increased the M3 money supply by $118 billion in January 2004 alone. As M3 money supply grows more jobs will be created and the mortgage companies will have more money to lend. Increase in M3 money supply will create a global economic boom which will increase the demand for U.S. goods and services and shrink the merchandise trade deficit.  Mr. Allen Greenspan has shown desire to be re-appointed as the Fed Chairman and he has promised to bring the lost manufacturing jobs to the USA. Keeping the interest rates low will keep the dollar falling, thus increasing exports.


President Bush’s tax cuts amount to $85 billion between 01/01/2004 and 06/30/04 which will put more money in our pockets to spend. This is an election year. In the past election years the stock market has gone up most of the times as lot of economic stimuli are put to work.


The economic outlook seems to be good and there seems to be global economic recovery. Let us hope for a very good 2004. Kindly look at the website of the Fund “Prasad.net” which is updated daily. It has propectus, forms, stock holdings, etc. You can also look up your account status anytime. I wish you all well and thank you for your continued support.



Sincerely,


/s/Raj Prasad






This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on November 23, 1998. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, maybe worth more or less then their original cost.  All returns reflect reinvested dividends but do not reflect the impact of taxes.

PRASAD GROWTH FUND



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2004


1.)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Trust under the laws of the State of Delaware by a Declaration of Trust in July 1998.  The Fund’s investment objective is to obtain capital appreciation.  In seeking its objective, this Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities.  Significant accounting policies of the Fund are presented below:


SECURITY VALUATION:

The Fund invests in a wide variety of equity and debt securities.  The investments in securities are carried at market value.  The market quotation used for common stocks, including those listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, is the last sale price on the date on which the valuation is made or, in the absence of sales, at the closing bid price.  Over-the-counter securities are valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of each business day.  Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.  Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.


SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING

Security transactions are recorded on the dates transactions are entered into.  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded as earned.  The Fund uses the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities.


INCOME TAXES:

It is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.  This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income.  In addition, it is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.


ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


OTHER:

Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital.


2.)

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory and administration agreement with Mutual Funds Leader, Inc.  The Investment Advisor receives from the Fund as compensation for its services an annual fee of 1.5% on the Fund's net assets. The Advisor pays all expenses of the fund except for brokerage fees, taxes interest and extraordinary expenses.  From time to time, Mutual Funds Leader, Inc. may elect to waive some or all of the fees and may reimburse expenses of the Fund.  The Fund paid investment management fees of $13,173 during the year ending March 31, 2004.


3.)

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain owners of Mutual Funds Leader, Inc. are also owners and/or directors of the Prasad Growth Fund.  These individuals may receive benefits from any management fees paid to the Advisor.


4.)

CAPITAL STOCK AND DISTRIBUTION

5.)

PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT




To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Prasad Growth Fund

Brecksville, Ohio



We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Prasad Growth Fund, including the schedule of investments in securities, as of March 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two 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 the financial highlights based on our audit.  The financial highlights data for each of the three periods ended March 31, 2002 were audited by McCurdy & Associates CPA’s, Inc. whose auditors’ report, dated April 18, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.


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.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and the application of alternative auditing procedures for unsettled security transactions.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Prasad Growth Fund as of March 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
