LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

June 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

 

ARTHUR D. ALLY

 

Dear Timothy Plan Shareholder:

 

As you have probably noticed, the first six months of 2005 have been rather volatile in terms of overall market performance. The first four months were quite negative while performance improved significantly in May and June, not only for the market as a whole but also for our funds in particular. Market behavior thus far this year (and actually thus far this decade) continues to validate the old adage: “It takes time to make money in the stock market.”

 

Our instructions to each of our sub-advisors, however, have been consistent and are simply this (in order of priority):

 

1) Comply with our screening research,

 

2) Preservation of principal is job #1, and

 

3) Out-perform your index, net of operating costs, over full market cycles.

 

Although there is no way to guarantee points two and three above, each of our managers has done a pretty good job in their respective asset class categories. While future investment performance can only be prognosticated and certainly not guaranteed, our managers have also expressed confidence that our funds should close the year of 2005 in positive territory.

 

Regardless of how we close this year, we have complete confidence in each of our managers (all of which have long, established, and respectable investment management histories.) The non-negotiable at Timothy remains the non-negotiable; i.e., we will not invest one dollar of our shareholders’ money in any publicly traded company that has a pattern of funding or otherwise contributing to the moral disintegration of our culture.

 

Once again, thank you for your conviction that has made you part of the Timothy Plan family.

 

Sincerely,

 

LOGO

Arthur D. Ally,

President

EXPENSE EXAMPLE:

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as wire fees and low balance fees; and indirect costs, including management fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs,” (in dollars) of investing in the Fund, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of January 1, 2005, through June 30, 2005.

 

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 at the beginning of the period, 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 “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 provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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 ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.85%, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 days/365 days (to reflect the one-half year period). The Fund’s ending account value on the first line in the table is based on its actual total return of 0.13% for the six-month period of January 1, 2005, to June 30, 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

 

TIMOTHY PLAN CONSERVATIVE & STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO VARIABLE SERIES

 

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series (individually the “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) were organized as a diversified series of The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-ended investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 14, 1993 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Conservative Growth Portfolio’s primary objective is moderate long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Conservative Growth Portfolio invests seek current income. The Strategic Growth Portfolio’s primary investment objective is medium to high levels of long term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Strategic Growth Portfolio invests seek current income. The Conservative Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund and the Money Market Fund. The Strategic Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund and the Fixed Income Fund. Each Fund is one of one series of funds currently authorized by the Board of Trustees. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. The Conservative Growth Portfolio began operations May 1, 2002 and the Strategic Growth Portfolio began operations May 6, 2002.

 

A. Security Valuation.

 

Each Fund purchases Class A Shares of the Timothy Funds at net asset value without any sales charges. With respect to securities owned by the Timothy Funds, securities listed or traded on a securities exchange for which representative market quotations are available will be valued at the last quoted sales price on the security’s principal exchange on that day. Listed securities not traded on an exchange that day, and other securities which are traded in the over-the-counter markets, will be valued at the last reported bid price in the market on that day, if any. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and all other assets will be valued at their respective fair market values as determined by the Adviser in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.

 

B. Investment Income and Securities Transactions.

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are reported on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily.

 

C. Net Asset Value Per Share.

 

Net asset per share of the capital stock of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

 

D. Federal Income Taxes.

 

It is the policy of the Funds to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. See Note 7 regarding the Funds’ tax status.

 

E. Use of Estimates.

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 5 – Distributions to Shareholders

 

No cash distributions were paid for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

For the Conservative Growth Fund, a capital gain consent dividend of $84,192, equivalent to $0.15 per share, and an ordinary income dividend of $25,826, equivalent to $0.05 per share, was deemed to be paid on December 31, 2004.

     Conservative Growth
Portfolio


   Strategic Growth
