The year 2001 will be remembered for many things. First and foremost, for the
September 11 terrorist attacks and the long-term global changes that resulted.
But 2001 may also be remembered as the year that the "New Economy" slipped into
recession.

Just a few years ago, the economic picture seemed different. Driven by rapid,
unprecedented technological advances, we seemed to be building a New Economy
that was outpacing the stodgy Old Economy and producing a new golden era for
America. While there are still some signs of the New Economy, it may not have
the sustainability that enthusiasts projected several years ago. We're not
giving up on economic growth spurred by technology, but as investors we will
remain cautious and mindful of our objectives and the shareholders our Funds
represent.

Our strategy is to evaluate our investments for their long-term potential, buy
them at reasonable prices, and monitor and re-evaluate each investment on an
ongoing basis. This approach has insulated our Funds, to a certain extent, from
the whipsaw reactions in the markets. We are not market timers, rather, each
Fund adheres to its stated investment objective, staying true to its style. And,
as we compare ourselves with our peer group and other market benchmarks, it
appears we have done a reasonable job.

Babson Enterprise, Value, and Shadow Stock Fund had good performance for the
12-months ended December 31, 2001. Each strongly exceeded the returns of their
respective benchmarks, the Russell 2000 and S&P 500. Babson Growth and
Enterprise Fund II held their own, while Babson-Stewart Ivory International was
our only equity-based Fund that materially underperformed its 12-month
benchmark, the MSCI EAFE. The Bond Funds, given the actions by the Fed, did
underperform somewhat.

The pages that follow include our Economic Review, a commentary on the details
affecting each Fund's performance relative to its benchmark, a Schedule of
Investments, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, and the
Financial Highlights of each Fund. It's a wealth of information, and a good way
to stay current on your Fund and its progress.

Check in with us more often by reading the Babson Report newsletter published on

and a Q & A with independent financial advisors as part of our continuing
communications for shareholders. The newsletter gives us a chance to let you

Economic Review

The 2001 easing cycle witnessed 11 rate declines totaling 475 basis points. And
despite these massive moves, the Fed has continued to retain their concern over
economic weakness. Almost 200 rate cuts were

orchestrated by central banks the world over during 2001. These eases were made
in an attempt to avoid both U.S. and worldwide recessions. Despite theses rate
declines many countries will still be unable to avoid at least a mild recession.
But these efforts should allow for a platform on which to build a nice recovery
sometime during 2002.

This recession environment manifested itself most vividly after the attacks of
September 11th but apparently the foundations of this slowdown were in place
much earlier this year. While precipitous drops were witnessed in economic
statistics soon after the attacks, many had already turned south prior to this
event. After the most recent 25 basis point decline in rates at the December
meeting, many market participants are expecting the end of this cycle to
materialize very soon. While there may still be one more ease, most economists
are now talking about the time when the Fed will need to begin tightening.

The employment landscape has darkened with larger layoffs, higher jobless claims
and an increasing unemployment rate. The unemployment rate for December,
announced in early January, increased to 5.8% versus a low of 3.9% in October
2000. Expectations still see this rate increasing to the 6-7% range in the first
half of 2002. The U.S. Challenger Survey showed a total of almost 2mm announced
job cuts during 2001. This was more than triple the year earlier total of only
614k. Housing stayed strong as a result of low rates and auto sales soared for
awhile during the fourth quarter led by 0% financing. It has been suggested that
much of these recent sales could be at the expense of future sales.

Final third quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) released in late December came
in at a very weak -1.3%, which was actually slightly worse than recent
expectations but better than some earlier predictions. Most economists remain
certain that the fourth quarter of 2001 will also experience a GDP decline,
expected to be in the -2.0% range. The most recent decline ended the tremendous
run of GDP growth that the U.S. has experienced since the first quarter of 1991,
the end of the last recession. Two quarters of GDP decline are the textbook
definition of a recession. Once fourth quarter numbers are announced it appears
fairly certain that the U.S. will reach this threshold. Weakness is expected to
remain as 2002 starts, but should subside by the second quarter or at least the
second half of the year. Industrial production remains weak although
manufacturing and non-manufacturing NAPM, other measures of economic activity,
have put in a nice bounce from their recession-type levels of recent months.
Overall, the economic numbers continue to paint an uncertain picture, but they
have certainly bounced some from the depressed levels reported after the
September disaster.

Energy prices declined during the fourth quarter as oil prices dropped by $4 a
barrel. These declines were the result of a supply glut caused by slowing world
economies. An additional element was the success of the war being waged on
terrorism in Afghanistan. Led by these energy declines, world inflation does not
present a current problem.

2001 is a year many people will never forget, certainly not those directly
affected by the terrorist attacks. Death, destruction and the feeling of a loss
of safety and control could hamper the subconscious of the country for many
months to come. But despite the tragic events of September 11th, the optimistic
spirit of the American populace remains steadfast. This "can do" attitude and
the patriotic spirit exhibited recently should allow the U.S. to emerge from
these dark days even stronger than before.

Babson Enterprise Fund

Small capitalization stocks capped another year of superior performance compared
to large cap stocks. The Russell 2000 Index* worked its way into positive
territory for the full year with a fourth quarter flurry led by growth stocks,
particularly in the high technology sector. Most other indices, such as the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index* and NASDAQ Composite* turned in positive
performance in the fourth quarter, but lost ground for the full year.

Babson Enterprise Fund, which produced positive overall returns (price change
and reinvested distributions) of almost +30% for the full year 2001, was
rewarded throughout most of the year for its disciplined value style, low
weighting in high technology stocks, and an increased exposure to financial
services companies.

Although our third quarter returns were negative (-6.50%), the Fund still
outperformed many of the indexes for that same period. The S&P 500 fell
-14.67% for the three-month period, compared to a -21.07% drop for the Russell
2000.* In the fourth quarter we were delighted to have exhibited the solid
returns we did (+13.32%). The prior three quarters had ostensibly favored value
stocks, and we took advantage of those market dynamics. When the volatility was
introduced and strong growth stock influences reared their heads in the fourth
quarter, the Portfolio held its own.

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns for one, five and ten year
periods as of December 31, 2001, were 29.50%, 9.66% and 12.76%, respectively.
Performance data contained in this report is for past periods only. Past
performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and share
value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original
cost.

Stocks of interest in the Portfolio include Cubic, a defense contractor with
businesses in the industrial security and military electronics industries.
Demand for their "smart card" technology and military training equipment has
created strong value. Other defense holdings that are benefiting from increased
military spending are EDO and Herley. A performer with strong potential upside
is Gulf Island Fabrications. A maker and distributor of offshore drilling
platforms, Gulf Island has experienced strong and steady demand in an
environment when many energy and energy service stocks have produced stagnant
performance. America First Mortgage is a mortgage REIT with a yield of more than
11%. The current rate environment has been positive for earnings growth since
the company's cost of funds is declining more than the yield on its portfolio of
mortgage-backed securities.

While we have increased our exposure to financial services companies
significantly this year, we are still underweighted compared to the Russell 2000
Value Index.* We feel that the Index's 30%+ exposure to that sector represents
undue risk in Fed influenced markets such as this one. Technology remains an
underweighted sector for valuation reasons.

Looking forward, while the level of corporate and consumer debt remains somewhat
worrisome and could dampen the rate of growth of the next economic recovery,
expansionary monetary policy, lean inventories, and resilient consumer spending
should limit the length and the depth of the current recession. The Portfolio
continues to have a heavy weighting in industrials and financial service
companies that should benefit from the coming recovery.

The following holdings were added to the Fund over the previous six months:

Benihana -- restaurant
Encore Wire -- copper wire

The following were eliminated from the Fund because of weak fundamentals: Cass
Information Systems, Congoleum, Kaman, Ladish, Marsh Supermarkets, Sea
Containers, and Wilson's Leather. Fred's and Engineered Support Systems were
sold based on valuations.

Babson Enterprise Fund II

It was a volatile six months, with stock valuations falling sharply in the third
quarter as the combination of a slowing economy and the terrorist attack of
September 11 increased investors' apprehensions about the future. Despite the
unprecedented and unpredictable market, Babson Enterprise Fund II outperformed
its benchmark during the third quarter ended September 30, 2001. The Fund's
total return (price change and reinvested distributions) was -14.20% compared to
-21.07% for the Russell 2000 Index.*

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns for one, five and ten year
periods as of December 31, 2001, were 2.73%, 10.15% and 12.42%, respectively.
Performance data contained in this report is for past periods only. Past
performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and share
value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original
cost.

In the fourth quarter, valuations came back solidly off their post-9/11 lows.
Improving consumer confidence, continued Federal Reserve easing, and lean
inventories spurred investors to look beyond the current economic contraction
toward an expected recovery in 2002. Small-cap stocks renewed their leadership
of the market in the fourth quarter, and in contrast to much of the rest of the
year, growth stocks generally performed better than value stocks in the fourth
quarter. And, while the best performing small-cap sectors in the third quarter
were the traditionally defensive areas such as consumer staples, financial
services and utilities, technology stocks were the strongest performers in the
fourth quarter.

At year-end the stock market had climbed back above September 10 levels. The
Christmas selling season turned out to be better than many people expected, and
people were on the road traveling again (albeit at a more limited rate). Many
economists are expecting the recession, which officially has been labeled as
starting last March, to end by the middle of 2002. We believe that over the
long-term 2001 will be viewed by many as a buying opportunity in the stock
market.

The following positions were added to the Fund in the second half of 2001:

Banner -- Washington-based bank
Exar -- integrated circuits
Intertape Polymer Group -- plastic packaging manufacturer
Lindsay Manufacturing -- irrigation systems
Magnetek -- electrical equipment
MKS Instruments -- instrumental electronics
Movado Group -- watch manufacturer and retailer
Salem Communications -- radio and television broadcasting
Serologicals -- plasma-based human antibodies
Titan -- diversified technology
Too -- specialty apparel retailer
Veeco Instruments -- precision etching systems
Zygo -- high-precision measuring tools

The following were eliminated from the Fund due to deteriorating fundamentals:
Anadigics, CH Energy, and Sea Containers. Information Resources, Parexel
International, Serologicals, and Taubman Centers were sold based on valuations.
Interpublic Group was sold because of valuations and market capitalization.

Babson Growth Fund

Calendar-year 2001 was a "once-in-an-investment-career" event, with most major
stock market indexes posting their second consecutive year of negative returns.
Consecutive down years are rare in stock market history, occurring only three

times since the end of World War I. The 2000-2001 downturn included many of the
problems of prior multiple-down-years: (1) a stock market bubble (in this case
driven by the Internet and overly aggressive telecom spending); (2) a global
recession impacting all the world's major economies (economies of Europe, Japan
and the U.S. all slowing at the same time has not happened in almost 30 years);
(3) political uncertainty both here and abroad; and (4) a military conflict. All
four proved to be challenges to the Babson Growth Fund.

It has also been an extremely volatile and tumultuous period in the stock
market. In the third calendar quarter, punctuated by the tragic events of
September 11 and the sell-off in the stock market that followed, many stocks hit
their 52-week lows. Babson Growth Fund lost -20.46% (price change and reinvested
distributions) in the third quarter, compared to a -20.15% drop for the Lipper
Large Cap Growth Fund Average* (884 funds), with most of this weakness occurring
in late September.

Groups that got hit the hardest in September, namely technology, consumer
cyclical and industrial stocks were those that staged the greatest rally in the
fourth quarter. Babson Growth Fund bounced back 13.74% in the fourth quarter, in
line with the 14.02% return for the Lipper Large Cap Growth Fund Average* (878
funds). For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Fund declined -20.47%, a good
performance on a relative basis, as compared to the -22.95% drop in the Lipper
peer group (838 funds).

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns for five and ten year periods
as of December 31, 2001, were, 6.90% and 10.34%, respectively. Performance data
contained in this report is for past periods only. Past performance is not
predictive of future performance. Investment return and share value will
fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost.

In the third quarter we were proactive at anticipating a broader economic
slowdown, and made several changes to reflect that view. With the Fed lowering
interest rates aggressively we added to our financial weighting with new
investments in Washington Mutual and Golden West Financial. We added several new
investments in Philip Morris (food, beverage and tobacco), Merck
(pharmaceuticals), First Data Corp. (transaction processing) and Kinder Morgan
(natural gas distribution), all of which have defensive characteristics and
stable earnings streams. Offsetting this we reduced the technology weighting in
the Fund. We scaled back our investments in the cyclical semiconductor industry
and sold several positions that still had earnings risk in the next several
quarters.

In the fourth quarter we sold our investment in AOL Time Warner, reflecting
concerns over the departure of their chief executive and a prolonged recovery in
advertising spending. We invested in Tenet Healthcare, which owns and operates
hospitals and other healthcare facilities throughout the country.

While we believe we are still in the midst of a recession, we also feel it is
prudent to begin to anticipate the recovery stage of the investment cycle. As a
result we are positioned to take advantage of improving market dynamics if and
when they occur.

The following positions were added to the Fund in the second half of 2001:

Compuware-- computers/software
Fifth Third Bancorp-- major regional bank
First Data Corp.-- data processing
Golden West Financial-- savings and loan companies
Merck & Co.-- drugs/pharmaceuticals
Philip Morris Cos.-- tobacco
Tenet Healthcare-- hospital management
Washington Mutual-- savings and loan companies

The following were eliminated from the Fund due to slowing demand or spending:
Intel, IBM, Juniper Networks, Microchip Technology, PMC-Sierra, Veritas
Software, and Vitesse Semiconductor.

The following were also sold: AOL Time Warner, due to an unexpected management
departure and their potential to downrevise forecasts, Best Buy to take profits
in the momentum-driven holiday sales, El Paso, due to California litigation
risk, Guidant Corp., due to increased competion in vascular stents, Taiwan
Semiconductor (ADR) because of excess capacity and price pressure, and Odyssey
RE Holdings.

Shadow Stock Fund

Shadow Stock Fund had a very strong year. Small-cap, and particularly micro-cap
value, was the strongest performing sector of the market. All major stock
averages suffered declines in 2001: the Dow Industrials* fell -5.43%; the
Standard & Poor's 500* dropped -11.88%; and the NASDAQ Composite* declined
-21.05%. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index*, however, scraped together a 1% rise.
Shadow Stock Fund's performance of 22.64% for the 12 months ended December 31,
2001 exceeded its benchmarks by significant margins. Shadow Stock Fund `s
overweighting and superior stock performance in consumer discretionary, consumer
staples, and industrials sectors propelled results. These three economic sectors
make up over 50% of the Portfolio.

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns for five and ten year periods
as of December 31, 2001, were, 12.47% and 13.34%, respectively. Performance data
contained in this report is for past periods only. Past performance is not
predictive of future performance. Investment return and share value will
fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost.

Specific risks or rewards attributable to individual holdings have been
relatively muted for most of the year. Because small companies usually have
higher risk than large companies when considered individually, the Fund attempts
to control the individual company risk by owning a large number of holdings
(currently 216), resulting in a diversified portfolio that carries considerably
lower risk than the stock market. As a result, no single stock considerably
helps or hurts the Fund.

We continue to look for market leaders with positive catalysts such as strong
leadership, friendly shareholder policies, and good merger characteristics. We
have continued to trim or sell holdings as they have become overbought based on
our screening process, have failed to meet expectations of the original signals,
or when operating margins have deteriorated.

Going forward, the Fund continues to be positioned for strong relative
valuations within the small-cap sector of the market. If smaller continues to be
better in terms of market returns, 2002 should be another rewarding year.

The following positions were added to the Fund in the second half of 2001:

Babson Value Fund

Many stocks hit their 52-week lows at the end of the third quarter in the
sell-off following the events of September 11. Sectors most negatively affected
in September -- technology, consumer cyclical, and industrials --

were those that staged the greatest rally in the fourth quarter. The technology
sector alone jumped 34% in the quarter. (It should be noted that many of these
advances occurred without meaningful improvement in technology spending patterns
or end-market demand.) Sectors in the market that proved to be defensive in the
September sell-off -- healthcare and consumer staples -- experienced very little
of the rally in the fourth quarter.

Although the fourth quarter favored growth stocks, 2001 was another "value
year", with the Russell 1000 Value* returning -5.59% while the Russell 1000
Growth* was down -20.42%. Babson Value Fund finished the year down -3.16% (price
change and reinvested distributions), ahead of all relevant value benchmarks.
Its results also easily outpaced the Standard & Poor's 500* -11.88%, the Dow
Industrials* -5.43% and the NASDAQ Composite* -21.05%. Contributing to the
success of Babson Value Fund in 2001 were its holdings in student loan companies
(Student Loan Corp. and USA Education), healthcare (Tenet Healthcare and
UnitedHealth Group), forest products (Weyerhaeuser and its takeover target
Willamette), rails (Union Pacific and Burlington Northern), and technology (IBM
and Apple).

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns for five and ten year periods
as of December 31, 2001, were 7.46% and 12.91%, respectively. Performance data
contained in this report is for past periods only. Past performance is not
predictive of future performance. Investment return and share value will
fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost.

Babson Value Fund will continue its relatively conservative investment stance,
with overweightings in consumer staples, for example, and investments in
companies with solid earnings prospects. Although we believe we are still in the
midst of a recession, we also feel it is prudent to begin to anticipate the
recovery stage of the investment cycle.

The recovery stage is typically accompanied by: (1) an end to Fed easing; (2) a
slowing rate of decline in economic growth; (3) a financial system filled with
liquidity; (4) an easing in corporate profit pressure; (5) a recovery in the
stock market; and (6) a clear indication that economically sensitive stocks
(technology, industrials and consumer cyclicals) are outperforming
recession-resistant groups in the market (healthcare and consumer staples).

In the meantime we encourage you to be patient and continue to focus on your
long-term investment horizon.

The following positions were added to the Fund in the second half of 2001:
Compuware, computer software, Rite-Aid, drug stores, Rockwell Collins,
avionics/communication electronics, USX-Marathon Group, integrated domestic oil,
and Wachovia, regional bank.

The following were eliminated from the Fund due to tax-loss selling:
Eastman Kodak, Potlatch, Rockwell International, USX-U.S. Steel Group,
and Wachovia.

The following were also sold: Burlington Northern, to consolidate railroad
position, Harcourt General, because of takeover, KLM, to eliminate a minor
position, and Martin Marietta Materials, due to valuations.

Babson-Stewart Ivory International Fund

Babson-Stewart Ivory International Fund underperformed the unmanaged Morgan
Stanley Capital International EAFE Index for the year, as international equities
turned in their second consecutive year of losses. Value stocks dominated for
the first half of the year,but as the tables turned toward growth stocks in the
fourth quarter, performance of the Fund was just behind the benchmark.

Comparisons against the unmanaged Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns for five and ten year periods
as of December 31, 2001, were -2.33% and 4.20%, respectively. Performance data
contained in this report is for past periods only. Past performance is not
predictive of future performance. Investment return and share value will
fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost.

At the beginning of the third quarter, equity markets were generally weak in
reaction to the continuing economic slowdown. Prices slumped alarmingly after
the terrorist attacks but bounced back up again towards the end of September.
Selling was indiscriminate with good stocks being marked down with the bad.
Interest rate cuts were swift and widespread to counter the slowdown.

Equities enjoyed their best quarter this year despite a correction in December,
but markets were again disappointing in 2001, recording a second year of losses.
Tech-related shares did most of the running through the fourth quarter and,
generally, growth stocks were favored above value stocks. All regions made
ground except for Japan where equities sank even lower as the country moved
further into recession and the yen weakened markedly. Asia-Pacific ex-Japan
powered ahead, driven by low interest rates and plentiful liquidity.

The best contributions to performance came from media stocks -- Television
Broadcast, Class Editore, and telecoms -- Tele Norte Leste, Nokia. Amvescap
(financials) STMicroelectronics (semiconductors) and Porsche (autos), also made
positive contributions. The worst performances came from the more defensive
sectors and names such as Fresenius (health), Glaxosmithkline (pharmaceutical),
Acom (finance) and Shell (oil).

Babson Bond Trust

The general trend of interest rates was down throughout the year. On the second
day of 2001, the Fed cut rates by 50 basis points. This move was the first of 11
rate cuts throughout the year for a total of 4.75%. By year-end, the Fed Funds
rate was 1.75%, and the two-year Treasury rate was 3.03%. The five and ten-year
Treasuries also rallied, but not as much as Fed Funds and the two-year,
resulting in an extremely steep yield curve. The 30-year bond experienced a high
level of volatility, although its yield ended the year roughly where it began.

Investment grade corporate bonds were the top-performing domestic fixed income
asset class in 2001, returning 10.40%. As in the stock market, certain segments
of the corporate bond market were inordinately hurt by the attack on the U.S.,
namely airlines, insurance, aerospace, lodging, retail and leisure. In 2001,
high quality bonds outperformed low quality bonds. High yield bonds
underperformed as defaults on speculative grade bonds rose to approximately 10%
in 2001. These default rates have likely peaked. Individual issue selection in
high yield was critical. All other "spread sector" segments of the investment
grade fixed income market (i.e commercial mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and
agency securities) outperformed for the year with the exception of
mortgage-backed securities, which slightly underperformed Treasuries. As a
result of falling interest rates, the mortgage market was plagued by fears that
refinancing and faster prepayments would increase supply in that market.

Accordingly, we continue to maintain an overweight in corporate bonds,
particularly those of triple-B quality, and given our conviction that economic
recovery will take place, we are looking to add selectively to long maturity
issues. At current valuations, we maintain an index weighting in mortgage-backed
securities as they are fairly valued, but believe they will perform well should
volatility decline from currently high historic levels. Moreover, asset-backed
and agency securities look attractive after their underperformance during the
fourth quarter, and we anticipate modestly increasing our exposure. As risk
premiums remain wide across spread sectors we continue to underweight
Treasuries.

Although Chairman Greenspan may reduce rates again in the near term, we believe
the Fed should be approaching the end of its repeated string of rate decreases.
Even if the Fed does not increase rates in the near future, the yield curve will
be biased to rise and flatten as the market anticipates an economic recovery.
Such recovery, in tandem with lower geopolitical risks, should provide the
backdrop of a rally in the fixed income spread sectors in 2002. The corporate
bond market should again be one of the top performing fixed income asset classes
in 2002.

Currently, the average maturity is 5.5 years for Portfolio S and 8.3 years for
Portfolio L, after taking into consideration bonds trading to their call dates
and average life assumptions for mortgage and asset-backed securities.

Babson Money Market Fund

Yields of short-term securities were tremendously impacted by the eleven
interest rate reductions implemented by the Fed during 2001. These easings
totaled 475 basis points as the Fed Funds target rate fell from 6.50% at the
beginning of the year to 1.75% by year-end. All securities on the short-end of
the maturity curve were pulled down in sympathy with these cuts. The
accommodative Fed was the result of a slowing economy that was severely impacted
by the events of September 11th. Many market participants are expecting the end
of this easing cycle to materialize very soon. While there may still be one more
ease, most economists are now talking about the time when the Fed will need to
begin tightening. The first quarter of 2002 FOMC meetings are scheduled for
January 30th and March 19th.

Similar to the first half of the year, the Fund invested a substantial
percentage of the portfolio in Agency discount notes and a smaller amount in
Treasury bills. These flight-to-quality trades were a defensive measure due to
the economic environment. There was concern that the slowing economy could lead
to weakening credit fundamentals. We made an active decision to reduce the
maximum allowable position in the securities of any one issuer, which required
the Fund to increase the number of commercial paper positions. With the slowing
economy, fewer issuers were issuing commercial paper, making it difficult to
find attractive Tier 1 paper. A narrowing of spreads between Agencies and
commercial paper also tilted the pendulum towards a defensive posture.

The seven-day yield for Babson Money Market Fund was 1.11%, as of December 31,
2001. An investment in this Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund
seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is

Babson Tax-Free Income Fund

Municipal bonds posted solid returns in 2001 primarily as a result of declining
interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board's eleven interest rate cuts during
2001 amounted to 475 basis points. It provided the basis for a second year of
strong returns in the fixed income markets. Two back-to-back years of negative
equity returns led many individuals to re-evaluate their risk tolerance and
increase allocations to the safe haven of municipal bonds. The municipal yield
curve experienced a dramatic steepening last year as a result of the Fed's
actions. Yields on maturities beyond ten years finished the year where they
began, but short-term yields fell sharply. Accordingly, shorter maturities
outperformed longer maturities, and three-year municipals posted the best annual
returns within the municipal market.

Tax-exempt yields fell to their lowest levels for the year in mid-November. At
this time, investors became disenchanted with the low rates and demand waned.
Meanwhile, municipal bond issuance continued to surge as low interest rates
provided a favorable environment for cash-strapped municipalities to finance
capital projects through debt issuance. There was not enough demand to support
this deluge of supply, and ultimately, rates were forced upward through the end
of the year. As a result, the municipal market turned in its first negative
quarter since 1999.

As we begin 2002, the state of the states is not as strong as it was last year.
State tax revenues are down as a result of declining income taxes, capital gains
taxes and corporate income tax. At the same time, demand for health and welfare
benefits is increasing. Given the likelihood that this recession will be
short-lived, we should not see a severe deterioration in credit quality within
the municipal market. Overall, municipalities are in much better fiscal shape
than they were entering the 1990-91 recession. While quality spreads are
relatively narrow, we look for opportunities to add yield to the Portfolio where
the risk/reward ratio is attractive. The pace of the economic recovery will
certainly have the most impact on municipal bond performance over the near term.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Babson Enterprise Fund, Babson Enterprise Fund II, David L. Babson Growth
Fund, Shadow Stock Fund, Babson Value Fund, Babson-Stewart Ivory International
Fund, D.L. Babson Bond Trust, D.L. Babson Money Market Fund and D.L. Babson
Tax-Free Income Fund (collectively referred to herein as the "Funds") are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as no-load
open-end, diversified management investment companies. The D.L. Babson Bond
Trust (comprising of Portfolio L and S) is of a series type. The Fund is
required to account for the assets of each Series separately and to allocate
general liabilities of a Fund to each Series based upon the relative net assets
of each Series. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.

A. Investment Valuation -- Securities are valued at the latest sales price for
securities traded on a principal exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ
National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter markets and listed
securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the mean between the
last reported bid and asked prices. When market quotations are not readily
available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are
converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in London last quoted by a major
bank. If such quotations are not available as of 4:00 P.M. (Eastern Time), the
rate of exchange will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

B. Investment Transactions and Investment Income -- Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income
less foreign taxes withheld (if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on the identified cost
basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. All
discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes and
are included in interest income (see Note 2 "Change In Accounting Principle").

C. Foreign Currency Translation -- All assets and liabilities expressed in
foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates last
quoted by a major bank in London at the end of the period. The cost of portfolio
securities is translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when acquired.
Dividend income is translated at the rate of exchange on the ex-dividend date.
The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on
investments in the Statement of Operations.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts -- The Babson-Stewart Ivory International
Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as a way of managing
foreign exchange rate risk. The portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix
the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the
period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is
delivered and paid for. These contracts may also be used to hedge the U.S.
dollar value of securities owned which are denominated in foreign currencies.

Forward foreign currency contracts are valued each day at the close of the New
York Stock Exchange at the forward rate, and are marked-to-market daily. The
change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the
contract is closed, a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and closed is recorded.

The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the securities, but it does establish a rate of
exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency
contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged
currency, they also limit a potential gain that might result should the value of
the currency increase. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or
contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the portfolio has in
that particular currency contract. In addition, there could be exposure to risks
(limited to the amount of unrealized gains) if the counterparties to the
contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. There were no
outstanding forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2001.

E. Repurchase Agreements -- The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with
member banks of the Federal Reserve or registered broker dealers whom the Funds'
investment advisor deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Funds'
Board of Directors, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such
securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price
generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the
basis of current short-term rates.

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the
custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Provisions of the
repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including
accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the
counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral
declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of
the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

F. Federal and State Taxes -- The Funds complied with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
therefore, no provision for federal or state tax is required.

As of June 30, 2001, the accumulated net realized loss on sales of investments
for federal income tax purposes which are available to offset future taxable
gains are as follows:

As of June 30, 2001, for federal income tax purposes, the Funds designate
capital gain dividends as follows:

Shadow Stock                                          3,217,953
Value                                                 2,314,106
Tax-Free Income                                         100,546

G. Distributions to Shareholders -- Distributions to shareholders are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal
tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences
are primarily due to losses deferred due to wash sales, post-October loss
deferrals, foreign currency transactions and the use of equalization for income
tax purposes and losses deferred.

H. Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from such estimates.

2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE:

As required, effective July 1, 2001, the Funds adopted the provisions of the
AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing
premium on debt securities. Prior to July 1, 2001, the Funds did not amortize
premiums on debt securities. The accounting principle effected the Babson Bond
Portfolio L and S. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact
on total net assets of the two Portfolios, but resulted in a $136,801 and
$140,398 reduction in cost of securities and a corresponding $136,801 and
$140,398 increase in net unrealized appreciation for Portfolio L and Portfolio
S, respectively, based on securities held on July 1, 2001.

The effect of this change for the period ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease
net investment income by $96,038 and $59,127, increase net unrealized
appreciation by $90,964 and $58,977, and increase net realized gain by $5,344
and $150 for Portfolio L and S, respectively. The statement of changes in net
assets and financial highlights for prior periods have not been restated to
reflect this change in presentation.

3. MANAGEMENT FEES:

Management fees are paid to Jones & Babson, Inc. in accordance with the
advisory agreement with the Funds. Management fees are paid for services which
include administration, and all other operating expenses of each Fund except the
cost of acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, the taxes, if any,
imposed directly on each Fund and its shares and the cost of qualifying a Fund's
shares for sale in any jurisdiction. Custody and pricing fees for the Stewart
Ivory International Fund are incurred in addition to the management fees
charged. Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are also officers and/or
directors of Jones & Babson, Inc. Each of the Funds was subject to the
following management fees:

                                             Over $250 million                      .70%
Value, Tax-Free Income,

average daily net assets of the portfolio.
