Dear Shareholders,
      We are pleased to present the Concorde Funds, Inc. Semi-Annual Report for the period October 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005.
Concorde Value Fund
       The Concorde Value Fund (“Value Fund”) produced a 10.75% total return for the first half of fiscal year 2005. Results for the Value Fund and other market indices are as follows:
         
Concorde Value Fund
    10.75%  
S&P 500
    6.88%  
Russell 1000 Value
    10.48%  
Russell 2000
    8.00%  
Wilshire 4500
    10.24%  
      The performance of the Value Fund for the first half of fiscal year 2005 at 10.75% was very competitive, in fact, exceeding the S&P 500 (large cap) and the Russell 2000 (small cap) indices. The return was in line with the Russell 1000 Value Index, most representative of our peer group (large cap value) and the Wilshire 4500, representing mid and small cap sectors. The portfolio rallied in the last quarter of 2004 and has muddled through 2005 year-to-date as the market has traded short rallies and sell offs. Valuation for the overall market appears reasonable, if not slightly inexpensive, at this point but the environment for the remainder of the fiscal year should be challenging as market participants anticipate higher interest rates and slowing growth of corporate earnings and cash flow.
      All sectors generated positive returns for the first half, demonstrating the breadth of the fourth quarter rally. For the Value Fund, the consumer staples, energy and retail trade groups produced the best returns for the six months, all with approximate 30% increases. Altria Group rallied as legal concerns moderated and the company suggested that a break up of the company is being seriously considered. SuperValue rose as the company continued to report consistent earnings growth. Devon Energy, the Value Fund’s largest energy holding, rose significantly as natural gas and oil prices rose and the market rewarded the company for the wisdom of recent acquisitions and the continued strengthening of the balance sheet.
      In the retail trade group, both IHOP and Office Depot rose as the companies reported strengthening operating results. We have sold the total Office Depot position subsequent to March 31 as the stock price reached our price target. Individual positions which incurred unrealized losses include MBIA, Pfizer, Tenet Healthcare, Illinois Tool Works, and Terex, while Viacom was

essentially flat for the six month period. Pfizer and Tenet, which has subsequently been sold, reflected concerns over regulatory issues and near term weakness in business conditions. Illinois Tool Works and Terex stock prices reflected doubts about the sustainability of the industrial sector growth that has persisted over the past couple of years. Although we believe that growth in that area is slowing moderately, we believe that these stocks are still priced attractively and that good upside remains for both increased earning and stock prices in this cycle. Viacom, along with Comcast, are stocks that we believe are quite undervalued and think that the market will recognize the already strong operating performance at some point.
      A fundamental aspect of the value style investment discipline is the purchase of stocks during periods of overall market weakness, as has been the experience in early calendar 2005, and when specific companies are undervalued, relative to their intrinsic value. Taking positions in companies that have solid longer term performance prospects, when the market in general is not reflecting such prospects, is when value investors typically “make” their gains. We feel the current market environment is creating many of these types of opportunities and should allow the fund to build on the solid performance of the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year.
  Best regards,
  -s- GARY D. WOOD
  Gary B. Wood, Ph.D.
  President

CONCORDE VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
NATURE OF BUSINESS:
      Concorde Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate series of shares of common stock of Concorde Funds, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company was incorporated in the state of Texas in September of 1987, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is subject to various investment restrictions as set forth in the Statement of Additional Information. The effective date of the Fund’s Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 was December 4, 1987. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to produce long-term growth of capital. The Company may designate one or more series of common stock. The Company may designate one or more series of common stock. The Company presently has no series other than the Fund. Each capital share in the Fund represents an equal, proportionate interest in the net assets of the Fund with each other capital share in such series and no interest in any other series.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Use of Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the quoted amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Securities
      Securities are valued at the close of each business day. Bonds and notes are valued at the last quoted bid price obtained from independent pricing services. Securities traded on national securities exchanges or on the national market systems are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation, except for call options written for which the last quoted bid price is used. Short-term demand notes and certificates of deposit are stated at amortized cost, which is equivalent to value. Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
      Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Option Writing
      When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. The Fund treats premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the pro-

ceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as a writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
Income Taxes
      The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
      Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and the cost of investments in securities may differ for financial statement and income tax purposes. The character of distributions from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for income tax purposes. At March 31, 2005, there were no material differences. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
Distributions to Shareholders
      Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Note 2 — Covered Call Options Written
      As of March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, investment securities valued at $627,700 and $188,160, respectively, were held by the custodian in connection with covered call options written by the Fund.
