CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:
The bull market of the first quarter of 1995 not only continued, but
accelerated during the second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, the
first half of our 1995 fiscal year, Gemini II was among the top performers in
the investment company field.
The table below presents the return (capital change plus income) for
the Fund's total portfolio during the six-month period, compared to that of the
unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. While our return
of +21.1% was only marginally ahead of the Index, the Index itself outpaced
about 83% of all general equity mutual funds during this period. So, when
compared to a total return of +17.0% for the average growth and income mutual
fund, Gemini II's return was singularly impressive.

GEMINI II +21.1%

STANDARD & POOR'S 500 STOCK INDEX +20.2%
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
The Fund's total return is allocated so that 100% of the portfolio's capital
appreciation (or depreciation) is attributed to the Capital Shares, which
provided 50% of the Fund's initial capital. By the same token, 100% of the net
investment income is received by the Income Shares, which provided the
remaining 50% of the Fund's initial capital.
THE CAPITAL SHARE RESULTS
The net asset value of each Capital Share rose from $19.03 on December 31,
1994, to $24.10 on June 30, 1995, an increase of +26.6% for the six-month
period. The price of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased by +18.6%
(excluding income). This solid advantage is a good reflection of the leverage
inherent in the Fund's capital structure. On June 30, this leverage factor was
1.4 times, compared with 2.0 times at our inception in February 1985.
THE INCOME SHARE RESULTS
During the past six months, we distributed two dividends at the quarterly rate
of $.35 per share, one on March 1 and one on June 1. As in the past, we expect
to maintain this quarterly rate throughout the year and pay an "extra" dividend
at year-end, representing the year's undistributed net income over and above
the quarterly total of $1.40. Total dividends from net income amounted to $1.73
per share in 1994. Although there are no guarantees in this business, we
currently believe that net income for 1995 should exceed last year's total.
THE PERIOD IN REVIEW
After a moderately disappointing 1994, the stock market sprung to life as 1995
began. During the past six months, the market moved upward, week after week, in
virtually straight-line fashion, delighting the bulls and astonishing the
bears. On balance, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose from 3834 as the year
began to 4556 on June 30.
As usual, there were many opinions as to the source of the market's
surprising strength. In my view, it resulted from a combination of: (1) the
sharp decline in interest rates (the yield on the long-term U.S. Treasury bond
fell from 7.8% to 6.6% during the period, a dip of 120 basis points); (2) the
diminishing threat of additional increases in short-term interest rates by the
Federal Reserve Board; (3) a slight softening in U.S. economic growth,
resulting in continued optimism about the outlook for inflation; (4)
record-breaking corporate profits; and (5) a hint of speculative fever in the
marketplace. Whatever the cause, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index provided a
total return of +20.2% for the six months.
Our premium return of 0.9 percentage points over the Standard & Poor's
Index was accounted for by the net interaction of three largely offsetting
factors: (1) value added by our heavy weighting in the financial group (65% of
our common stocks compared with 11% for the Index), which provided championship
returns; (2) outstanding individual stock selections in the transportation
sector; and (3) the negative impact of our limited participation in the
technology group, the market leader for the period. That we have nicely

outpaced the Index without full representation in technology stocks says a lot
about the professional skills of our portfolio managers, John B. Neff and
Charles T. Freeman, and their Wellington Management Company team. Their
analysis is presented on page 3 of this Report.
PORTFOLIO STATISTICS
The following table shows the composition of our portfolio on June 30, 1995:
<TABLE>

TOTAL EQUITY EQUIVALENTS 92%
TEMPORARY CASH INVESTMENTS 8
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL PORTFOLIO 100%
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
In general, this structure is similar to what it was at the close of our first
quarter, although the common stock position declined marginally and the cash
position increased commensurately.
PREMIUMS AND DISCOUNTS
The table below presents the current market discount for the Capital Shares and
the premium for the Income Shares. Both the discount and the premium have
widened slightly since year-end.

shares will be priced at their respective net asset values.

REPORT FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
Gemini II's results in the first half of 1995 were satisfactory, as we bested
the S&P 500 on a total return basis with a 21.1% increase versus 20.2% for the
Index. While this doesn't sound all that whiz-bang at only a ninety basis point
superiority, it was an adrenaline-led market, particularly featuring
technology, an area where we had a decent but not remarkable (7.6%)
participation. We usually don't do too well in speculative markets but we "hung
in" at least at a little above average.
Some of our solid-citizenry weighed in with quite worthwhile gains, as
exemplified by the banks, insurance, and savings and loans in the common stock
portion of the portfolio. Additionally, attention-getting gains were
experienced in the convertible segment of Gemini II, not only in technology,
but airlines, aluminum, and housing as well.
We are striving to match or better the 1994 dividend total of $1.73
but cannot give an absolute estimate at this time.
As already suggested, the market has been quite bountiful thus far in
1995, perhaps somewhat better than the basic earnings backdrop would otherwise
suggest with new appreciation opportunities becoming more limited accordingly.
An area which is meaningfully behind the market, in our view, is the
basic commodity cyclical segment, which has been built up to 25.3% of Gemini
II's net assets in the aluminum, steel, and chemical industries. This is
essentially represented by convertible securities, which not only offer good
appreciation potential, but excellent yields as well. We think there is a very
good chance that this current business expansion will persevere longer than the
traditional postwar recovery, perhaps another three or four years, as we have
not, in our view, built in the usual excesses that cry for correction. If we
are right, these industries should not only stay "tight" in respect to pricing
for this period, but accordingly demonstrate extended excellent earning power.
This then should merit a better multiple in the marketplace than in previous
more short-lived recoveries.
Respectfully,
John B. Neff, Managing Partner

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Gemini II is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a
diversified closed-end investment company. Certain of the Fund's investments
are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers' abilities to meet these
obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective
industries.
A. The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial
statements.
1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the
latest quoted sales prices as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange
(generally 4:00 PM) on the valuation date; securities not traded are valued
at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities not listed
are valued at the latest quoted bid prices. Temporary cash investments are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
Realized net long-term gains, if any, on security transactions are retained
and applicable taxes thereon are accrued at the end of the Fund's fiscal
year (see Note B).
3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund, along with other members of The Vanguard
Group of Investment Companies, transfers uninvested cash balances into a
Pooled Cash Account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase
agreements secured by U.S. Government obligations. Securities pledged as
collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Fund's custodian bank
until maturity of each repurchase agreement. Provisions of the agreement
require that the market value of this collateral is sufficient in the event
of default; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other
party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may
be subject to legal proceedings.
4. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities
are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
on the sale of investment securities are those of specific securities sold.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on debt securities purchased are
amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
B. Income Shareholders are entitled to receive as distributions the higher of
$.80 per share (annually) or all of the net investment income available for
distribution. Income distributions to Capital Shareholders are prohibited as
long as any Income Shares remain outstanding. Capital Shareholders are entitled
to any net realized short-term gains on investment securities annually.
C. Under the terms of a contract expiring January 31, 1996, the Fund pays
Wellington Management Company a basic investment advisory fee calculated at an
annual percentage rate of average net assets of the Fund. The basic fee thus
computed is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to
the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. For the six months ended June 30, 1995,
the investment advisory fee represents an effective annual base rate of .34 of
1% of average net assets before an increase of $166,000 (.10 of 1%) based on
performance.
D. The Vanguard Group, Inc. furnishes at cost corporate management and
administrative, transfer agency, marketing, and distribution services. The
costs of such services are allocated to the Fund under methods approved by the
Board of Directors. At June 30, 1995, the Fund had contributed capital of
$49,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing .2% of Vanguard's
capitalization. The Fund's directors and officers are also directors and
officers of Vanguard.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Vanguard has requested the Fund's investment adviser to direct certain
portfolio trades, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to brokers
who have agreed to rebate or credit to the Fund a portion of the commissions
generated. Such rebates or credits are used solely to reduce the Fund's
administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, directed
brokerage arrangements reduced the Fund's expenses by $8,000 (an annual rate of
.01 of 1% of average net assets).
E. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Fund made purchases of
$72,614,000 and sales of $109,070,000 of investment securities other than U.S.
Government securities and temporary cash investments. At June 30, 1995,
unrealized appreciation for financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes
aggregated $42,267,000, of which $46,633,000 related to appreciated securities
and $4,366,000 related to depreciated securities.
F. The market value of securities on loan to broker/dealers at June 30, 1995,
was $942,000, for which the Fund had received cash collateral of $973,000.
