DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

It is with pleasure that we report to you the results for the Harris Insight
Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The following pages provide
greater detail about specific factors which contributed to Fund performance.

Harris Trust and Savings Bank's Vice President and Chief Investment Officer,
David Mead, offers his perspective on the markets and the economy for 1997. An
overview of the past year's fixed income and equity market activity is provided
by Mark Newlin, Director of Fixed Income Management for Harris Investment
Management, Inc. (HIM), and William Leszinske, President and Chief Investment
Officer of HIM.

1996 was a year of milestones for this growing mutual fund family. In February,
the Harris Insight Funds expanded the family of funds from six to thirteen
portfolios. Assets in the Funds increased from $1.5 billion to approximately $3
billion. The increase primarily resulted from investments in the Funds by the
common trust funds of Harris Trust and Savings Bank. April, 1996 saw the
introduction of the Bond Fund. It seeks to provide a high level of total return,
including a competitive level of current income, by investing primarily in
investment-grade debt securities of various maturities.

Shareholders have benefitted from this expansion through the availability of
additional funds to meet diverse and changing investment needs, expanded
shareholder services providing greater convenience and flexibility, and a
larger--and growing--asset base over which to spread the expenses associated
with operating mutual funds. In September the Harris Insight Funds made their
debut on the Internet (the Harris Insight Funds' address on the World Wide Web
is http://www.harrisinsight.com). Harris Insight Funds' shareholders and
prospective investors can now use this "electronic superhighway" to access
general Fund information, current Fund performance, and insight into the
markets.

In the next year our plans for the Harris Insight Funds are no less ambitious.
We will continue focusing our efforts on improving shareholder services. Also,
the Funds will be available to large and small companies as part of 401(k)
plans, a variety of small retirement plans, and to individual investors through
new asset allocation programs. Finally, certain existing Harris Bank collective
funds will convert to Harris Insight Funds, increasing total assets in the Fund
family.

As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions as to how we can best serve
your needs. We look forward to the year ahead and thank you for your continued
confidence in us.



SINCERELY,


/s/ RICHARD W. INGRAM

THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC REVIEW                                                 JANUARY 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the fourth quarter of 1996 came to a close two facts became obvious. Consumer
spending, while improving relative to a year earlier, still resulted in
lackluster Christmas retail sales. This was somewhat surprising given strong
consumer confidence readings and a pickup in personal income growth. Second, the
manufacturing sector showed strong growth as production rose sharply. These
developments resulted in estimated fourth quarter economic growth expanding at a
4.7% annual rate.

The prospect of an acceleration in the economy at a time when unemployment is
low and wage growth is showing signs of accelerating has unnerved the bond
market and driven long-term Treasury yields higher. Despite the rise in bond
yields, stock prices have continued to rise as investors presume the outlook for
corporate earnings growth has improved. Such optimism should be tempered,
however, as sluggish growth in most major foreign economies indicates little
improvement in U.S. exports, high consumer debt levels may limit near-term
spending activity and the economy is likely to slow.

IS AN ACCELERATION IN INFLATION CLOSE AT HAND?

Prior to the 4th quarter there appeared to be little chance that the Federal
Reserve Board ("Fed") would turn restrictive. While it still appears unlikely
that any increase in short-term interest rates is imminent, if the economy
continues to expand rapidly, the odds favoring a rate hike will increase.

Despite the absence of any current signs of accelerating inflation, the Fed
could decide to make a preemptive move as a precaution. However, even if such an
action eventually does take place, it is unlikely to occur in the immediate
future. The Fed has tended to be quite deliberate when making policy shifts and
will undoubtedly wait for additional evidence concerning the direction of the
economy before moving from its current neutral policy stance.

INVESTORS' APPETITE FOR STOCKS CONTINUES

For all of 1996 the S&P 500 Index appreciated by nearly 23% marking a
continuation of this magnificent bull market that started in the early 1980s. It
has also been more than 6 years since a 10% market "correction" has occurred.
The rise in 1996 was driven by sharply rising corporate earnings and, until late
in the year, declining long-term bond yields.

Larger capitalization issues outperformed smaller ones as portfolio managers
invested strong mutual fund cash flows in bigger, more liquid shares in case
they needed to sell quickly. They were particularly attracted to growth-oriented
names and increasingly avoided the more cyclical ones as the economy's prospects
became more questionable. Foreign shares tended to under perform as those
foreign economies continued to struggle vis-a-vis the U.S.

LOOKING FORWARD INTO 1997
As 1997 begins it appears likely that corporate earnings growth will slow as
additional cost reduction becomes increasingly difficult to achieve. The global
pricing environment remains extremely competitive and, with even modest wage
growth, seems likely to put pressure on corporate profit margins. As a result,
the chances for earnings disappointments is rising.


                                                                               3

THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC REVIEW (CONTINUED)                                     JANUARY 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The risk of earnings disappointment should be limited by the favorable outlook
for inflation and lower bond yields. Despite the outlook for continued (albeit
modest) economic growth, the prospects for continued low inflation remain a plus
in the outlook for bond investments.

Looking forward, investors are faced with a situation where the chance of
earnings disappointments is rising, but where the likelihood for lower bond
yields is also increasing. This would appear to be an environment where market
volatility is likely to rise but also one where any downside risk appears
limited to moderate proportions. Despite the rising probability of a correction
in stock prices, at the moment, the odds of a major bear market occurring appear
remote. Nevertheless, even a correction of moderate proportions may prove
unsettling to recent market entrants as investors' expectations may have risen
to unrealistic levels.

THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
FIXED INCOME MARKETS REVIEW                                     JANUARY 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike the year for the U.S. stock market, 1996 proved to be a rather
unremarkable period for interest rates. Treasury bond prices in particular,
which experienced dramatic up and down gyrations over the course of the year,
ended the year slightly lower--with yields slightly higher--than when 1996
began.

Expectations about the Federal Reserve Board's credit policy had a great effect
on the markets. Early last year, when the Federal Reserve Board moved to lower
its Federal Funds rate (the rate it pays banks for deposits in excess of reserve
requirements) by one-quarter of a percentage point, fixed income investors were
hopeful that further interest rate reductions--and higher bond prices--were in
store. Unfortunately, the January 31, 1996 rate cut proved to be the only one of
its kind for the year.

What began as bullish sentiment in the fixed income markets during the first
quarter gave way to fears that signs of stronger growth in the economy would
push inflation and interest rates higher. These concerns dashed hopes that the
Federal Reserve Board would move to push interest rates lower any time soon.

These fears were realized in the second quarter, as the economy grew at a robust
4.7% annual rate. Heightened anxiety about each new piece of economic news
released by the Government in turn contributed to market bearishness. On the
other hand, signs that inflation remained largely in check in spite of full
employment and steady growth limited the drop in bond prices.

Corporate issuers, in fact, took advantage of yields that still looked low on an
historical basis, and a $405 billion flood of new issues came to market. This
huge supply came close to the record high of $416 billion in new issues during
1993. Corporate bond issuance was especially high during the months of November
and December, as a result of declining rates earlier in the fall.

Fixed-income investors were also attracted to the comparatively high yields of
the junk bond market, which outperformed other fixed-income sectors, while
uncertainty over discussions about possibilities of a flat tax dampened demand
for tax-exempt bonds. For short-term debt instruments, the year was uneventful,
with little movement in yields.

THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
EQUITY MARKETS REVIEW                                           JANUARY 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 was an excellent year for the U.S. equity markets--with the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index finishing up 23%, following the dramatic gain of 37.4% in 1995.
Since 1926, back-to-back gains of this magnitude have occurred only five times.

In many ways 1996 was a repetition of 1995, when large capitalized stocks
dominated the market. Small companies, as measured by the Russell 2000, again
underperformed with a return of 16.5%. The best performing sectors of the market
were financials, technology, and energy. Underperforming areas were consumer
services, basic industries and transportation. Utilities had difficult year 
despite the overall strong environment.

Investors' nervousness about strength in the economy led to increased volatility
during the year. Fears that renewed growth in the economy would trigger upward
pressure on inflation and interest rates weighed on stock prices. Compounding
these factors were concerns about the sustainability of corporate earnings
growth. In the second quarter especially, the market appeared to have little
regard for companies that were experiencing earnings disappointments.

Supporting the market was positive news on the inflation front and relatively
stable interest rates during the course of the year. And while earnings growth
slowed for many companies, particularly in the latter part of the year, results,
on balance, were generally favorable. Last, but not least, there were enormous
inflows into the stock market as a result of inflows into equity mutual funds.

According to the Investment Company Institute, the trade association for the
mutual fund industry, in 1996 investors poured $223 billion in new cash into
mutual funds which invest in stocks. This level surpassed the previous record of
$129.6 billion set in 1993 by more than 70%, as well as the $128.1 billion
inflow into equity mutual funds in 1995. In December alone, investors put more
than $13.5 billion in net new money into equity funds. Although year-end
comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan about valuations in the
markets sparked some concern, they were unable to dampen what proved to be a
spectacular ascent for the year.

GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND SUMMARY
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
     The Fund seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current income
     as is consistent with its investment policies and preservation of capital
     and liquidity. The Fund invests exclusively in U.S. Government Securities
     that have remaining maturities not exceeding thirteen months and certain
     repurchase agreements.

     INVESTMENT RESULTS
     Based on strong performance over the course of the year, Class A and
     Institutional shares of the Government Money Fund finished the year in the
     top quartile of their respective peer groups--that is, other funds against
     which they are ranked that have similar investment objectives.
          The Fund's managers maintained a somewhat longer average maturity with
     the portfolio during the second half of the year, based on their positive
     outlook for the fixed income markets. This strategy paid off handsomely for
     the Fund as interest rates, which had been on an upward course, reversed
     direction and fell dramatically. Active management of the Fund's average
     maturity during the first and second quarter of 1996 helped the Fund
     weather the significant volatility of the fixed income markets.

MONEY MARKET FUND SUMMARY
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
     The Fund seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current income
     as is consistent with its investment policies and with preservation of
     capital and liquidity. The Fund invests in a broad range of money market
     instruments that have remaining maturities not exceeding thirteen months.

     INVESTMENT RESULTS
     Like the Government Money Fund, the Money Fund's strong performance over
     the course of the year can be attributed to vigilant "duration management",
     or the active management of the Fund's average weighted maturity. The
     significant interest rate shifts over the course of the year provided the
     Fund's managers with an excellent opportunity to employ this strategy, thus
     enhancing fund performance.
          The most significant event of the first half of the year for the Money
     Fund was the conversion of common trust fund assets held by Harris Trust &
     Savings Bank personal trust clients into the Harris Insight Funds. In order
     to accommodate this significant inflow of new assets, the
     average-days-to-maturity of the Funds was extended. After the conversion
     was completed, the average-days-to-maturity of the Money Fund eventually
     was reset. This strategy worked well for the Fund, as the interest rate
     yield curve inverted deeply during January (with long-term rates rising
     much faster than short-term rates) and then rebounded  through the first
     half of the year.

TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND SUMMARY
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
     The Fund seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current income
     (exempt from federal income taxes) as is consistent with its investment
     policies and preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund invests
     primarily in high-quality municipal obligations that have remaining
     maturities not exceeding thirteen months.

     INVESTMENT RESULTS
     Like the Money Fund, the Tax-Exempt Money Fund experienced a significant
     inflow of new assets in the first quarter of the year following a
     conversion of common trust fund assets into the Fund. The Fund maintained a
     relatively short average maturity through much of the first quarter in
     order to accommodate the conversion of assets into the Fund. Upon
     completion of the conversion and transfer, the Fund extended its average
     maturity, and by the end of the first half of the year its average maturity
     stood at 52.5 days.
          A number of strategies employed by the Fund's managers helped to
     strengthen the Fund's  performance  in the second half of the year. In the
     third quarter, the Fund's average maturity had widened to 58 days, largely
     as a result of the Fund's increased participation in a number of new issues
     of one-year tax-exempt notes. In the fourth quarter, the Fund attempted to
     capitalize on certain technical characteristics of the tax-exempt market.
     For example, the Fund was able to take  advantage of rising rates in the
     variable  rate sector of the  market. As a result of this  strategy,  the
     Fund's average maturity shortened somewhat. Nonetheless, the Fund's
     managers maintained a longer average maturity based on their bullish
     outlook for the interest rate market and the steepness of the yield curve.

The Harris Insight Money Market Funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that the Funds will be able to
maintain a stable $1.00 share price.

A portion of income from the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund may be subject to some
state and/or local taxes and, for certain investors, a portion may be subject to
the federal alternative minimum tax.
                                                                               7

SHORT/INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE SHORT/INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND AND THE
LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE BOND INDEX FROM INCEPTION
THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index - A weighted
composite of ( I ) the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government Bond Index, which
is comprised of all publicly issued, non-convertible debt of the U.S. Government
or any agency thereof, quasi-federal corporations, and corporate debt guaranteed
by the U.S. Government with a maturity of between one and ten years and ( II )
the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, which is comprised of all public
fixed-rate, non-convertible investment-grade domestic corporate debt with a
maturity of between one and ten years excluding collateralized mortgage
obligations.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of total return, including a competitive
level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing primarily in investment grade debt securities with a
short/intermediate term average maturity.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
The reemergence of strong economic activity early in the year put upward
pressure on interest rates, and consequently weighed on demand for fixed income
investments. The overall bearish sentiment in the first half of the year was
linked to heightened market anxiety that a resurgent economy would trigger
higher inflation. Intermediate interest rates ended the year 80 basis points
(100 basis points equals one percent) higher than the year before.
     The most favorable period of the year for the Fund was the fourth quarter,
when interest rates declined by an average of 25 basis points, sparking a rally
in the markets. Slowing economic growth was a contributing factor behind the
strong performance of the fixed income markets. In particular, the Fund's
portfolio at the end of the year was overweighted in the corporate and
asset-backed sectors, which the Fund's managers considered especially attractive
areas in which to invest.

BOND FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE BOND FUND AND THE LEHMAN BROTHERS
AGGREGATE BOND INDEX FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - An index composed of the Lehman
Government/Corporate Index and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Index and includes
treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage-backed
securities.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of total return, including a competitive
level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing primarily in investment grade debt securities of varying maturities.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
1996 followed a pattern established in the fixed-income markets in previous
years, whereby a spectacular year of fixed-income returns is followed by a
lackluster year. The year's returns, albeit positive, posted the third worst
year of fixed-income market performance since 1981, when the market's upward
bull trend started.
     And while the Fund's return was positive in 1996, results were greatly
affected by the volatility in the fixed income markets throughout the year. This
volatility reflected investor concerns that strong growth in the economy would
cause upward pressure on inflation and, consequently, interest rates. Stronger
than anticipated economic activity was reflected in bond yields, which rose
approximately 80 basis points on a year-over-year basis. However, the positive
returns experienced by the bond market during the third quarter of the year were
just enough to pull the market out of negative territory for the first time
since February 1996. The fourth quarter also saw improved returns as interest
rates fell, on average, 25 basis points.

INTERMEDIATE TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND SUMMARY

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE INTERMEDIATE TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND AND THE
LEHMAN BROTHERS MUNICIPAL BOND FUND INDEX FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31,
1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Fund Index - An index comprised of 8,000 bonds.
The bonds are all investment-grade, fixed-rate, long-term maturities (greater
than two years) and are selected from issues larger than $50 million dated since
January 1984.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from
federal income tax. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in a broad
range of municipal bonds and other obligations issued by state and local
governments to finance their operations or special projects.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
By comparison, the municipal bond market performed better than its taxable
counterpart. Fear of declining supply in response to rising rates helped
municipals as Treasury Bond yields rose throughout much of the year. Concern
over a potential Federal Reserve tightening of interest rates influenced the
municipal market to a lesser degree than the Treasury market.
     The first half of 1996 was a difficult period for the municipal bond
market. In February, the tax-exempt market ended its string of seven consecutive
months of positive price performance. A number of other factors weighed heavily
on Fund performance, including a steepening of the tax-exempt yield curve--which
reflected investor preferences for shorter-term tax-exempt maturities--as well
as a large supply of new issues overhanging the market during the early part of
the year. The yield relationship between taxable and tax-exempt issues also
widened back out to its historical norm as prospects for a flat tax faded with
Steve Forbes' presidential run. The strong performance of the stock market in
the second half of the year also drew investor interest away from the municipal
bond market. On balance, however, demand for tax-exempt bonds proved to be
remarkably resilient over the course of the year, especially as concerns over
the flat tax abated.

    Shares of the Fund assume an initial sales charge of 4.50%.

    Performance information includes the performance of the Intermediate
    Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's predecessor common trust fund for periods before the
    Fund commenced operations. Performance for the common trust fund has been
    adjusted to reflect the Fund's estimate of its expense ratio for the first
    year of operations as a mutual fund. The common trust fund was not
    registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
    Act"), or subject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the
    1940 Act. If the common trust fund had been registered under the 1940 Act,
    its performance may have been adversely affected. The common trust fund did
    not impose any charges that correspond to the advisory and other fees of the
    Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund. Therefore, the quoted performance figures
    for the common trust fund have been reduced to reflect expenses of 0.80% and
    1.05%, the estimated expense ratios of the Institutional and Class A Shares
    of the Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, respectively, at commencement of
    operations.

**  The inception date for the Fund's performance with respect to both of the
    Institutional and Class A Shares is January 1, 1986. Inception for the Index
    begins on the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund (or class
    thereof).

    Performance figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of
    future results. The investment return and principal value of shares will
    fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the
    original amount invested.

    A portion of income may be subject to some state and/or local taxes and, for
    certain investors, a portion may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND AND THE LEHMAN
BROTHERS MUNICIPAL BOND FUND INDEX FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Fund Index - An index comprised of 8,000 actual
bonds. The bonds are all investment-grade, fixed-rate, long-term maturities
(greater than two years) and are selected from issues larger than $50 million
dated since January 1984.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from
federal income tax. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing at least 80% of its assets, under normal market conditions, in a broad
range of municipal bonds and other obligations issued by state and local
governments to finance their operations or special projects.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
Municipal bonds performed well in 1996 compared to the rather lackluster
performance of taxable fixed income investments. Pre-election proposals for a
"flat tax"--which would lessen the demand for tax-advantaged investments such as
municipal bonds--weighed on prices early in the year. Also contributing to
weakened demand for municipal bonds was the rally in the equity markets in the
second half of the year. Many bond investors were reinvesting the proceeds from
maturing bonds into stocks. But as flat-tax concerns abated, municipal bond
prices rose.
     As the difference in interest rate spreads between the highest quality
bonds and lower quality bonds narrowed throughout the year, the lower quality
issues were the stronger performers. In fact, an oversupply of insured, triple
A-rated securities caused that sector of the market to be one of the weakest
performing for the year. Although the Fund's portfolio was overweighted in
insured bonds and underweighted in single-A and triple-B issues, the Fund was
well positioned in higher coupon, non-callable bonds. The strong performance of
these issues mitigated the weaker performance of the insured bonds within the
Fund's portfolio.

CONVERTIBLE FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE CONVERTIBLE FUND AND THE FIRST BOSTON
CONVERTIBLE INDEX FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
First Boston Convertible Index - An index comprised of an unmanaged group of
domestic convertible bonds and preferred stocks with a Standard & Poor's rating
of B- or better and a minimum issue size of $50 million, and dollar-denominated
Euroconvertibles issued by U.S.-domiciled companies and having a Standard &
Poor's rating of B- or better and a minimum issue size of $100 million.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and current income. The Fund
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in convertible
securities including bonds, debentures, notes or preferred stocks that are
convertible into common stocks or warrants that provide the right to purchase
shares of common stock.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
Because 1996 was an especially volatile year for the fixed income markets, the
Fund benefited over the course of the year from minimal holdings of "bond
equivalents" (convertibles with large premiums to conversion value) and from
specific issue selections.
     The Fund's strong performance was boosted by its portfolio holdings in
technology and financial issues. Particularly noteworthy were holdings in
Quantum, Altera, Seagate and S3.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE GROWTH FUND AND THE S & P 500 STOCK INDEX
FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
S & P 500 Stock Index - An index comprised of an unmanaged group of 500 widely
held common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange and the over-the-counter market.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and, secondarily, current
income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing
primarily in common stocks and convertible securities believed to offer
above-average growth potential.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
The Growth Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index during 1996. The Fund primarily

Technology and Health Care sectors. The Fund is a well diversified large
capitalization growth fund that increased its position in the Financial and
Energy sectors during the year and reduced its position somewhat in Technology
and large capitalization consumer companies.

SMALL-CAP OPPORTUNITY FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE SMALL-CAP OPPORTUNITY FUND AND THE RUSSELL
2000 SMALL STOCK INDEX FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
Russell 2000 Small Stock Index - An index of the 2,000 smallest stocks in the
Russell 3000 Index. The smallest company has a market capitalization of
approximately $13 million. The total adjusted market capitalization as of March
1991 was $156.5 billion.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Small-Cap Fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation. The Fund
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity
securities of smaller to medium capitalization companies.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
Although 1996 proved to be a spectacular year for the stock market, the overall
performance of smaller capitalization issues during the period lagged that of
larger capitalization issues. There was strength in "small cap" issues for the
first five months of 1996. However, during the months of June and July 1996, the
small cap market experienced a significant decline. From August to year-end,
small caps rebounded, but still trailed their large cap counterparts. Technology
stocks were especially affected by both the decline and the rebound. Solid
performance by the Fund's portfolio holdings in Technology, Financial Services
and Energy helped the Fund produce a strong showing for the year relative to its
peers.

INDEX FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE INDEX FUND AND THE S & P 500 STOCK INDEX
FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
S & P 500 Stock Index - An index comprised of an unmanaged group of 500 widely
held common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange and the over-the-counter market.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Index Fund seeks to provide the return and risk characteristics of the S & P
500 Index, which emphasizes large capitalization companies.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
Mirroring the exceptional year in the equity markets, the Index Fund turned in a
very strong showing in 1996. Supporting the equity markets in 1996 was the
continued strong growth in the economy coupled with low inflation and relatively
stable interest rates.
     At the end of the year, issues held by the Fund represented more than 99.5
percent of the weighted capitalization of the S&P 500 Index. The three sectors
contributing the best performance to the Fund during the course of the year were
Technology, Financial Services and Health Care. The Utility, Business Service
and Consumer Cyclical sectors provided the least contribution to the Fund's
performance.

INTERNATIONAL FUND SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN THE INTERNATIONAL FUND AND THE MSCI EAFE INDEX
FROM INCEPTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.


PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK:
MSCI EAFE Index - An index consisting of companies listed on the stock exchanges
of Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The Index is capitalization weighted
and replicates the industry composition and sampling of the large, medium and
small capitalization companies of each local market.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Fund seeks to provide international diversification and capital
appreciation. Current income is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve
its investment objective by investing primarily in securities of foreign
issuers.

INVESTMENT RESULTS:
The International Fund's performance closely tracked the MSCI EAFE Index. Fund
performance benefited from strong markets in the United Kingdom, France,
Netherlands, Spain and Germany. However, weak markets in Japan and Switzerland
hurt Fund performance. The Consumer Goods and Energy sectors exposure benefited
Fund performance while the Financial sector dampened performance.

The Fund's positive performance in 1996 can be attributed to the double-digit
returns of the equity markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
     From the Hemisphere Free Trade Fund's inception in April through the end of
the year, the Fund's asset allocation in the three North American free trade
zone countries has been approximately 40 percent in the United States, 30
percent in Canada, and 30 percent in Mexico. Best performing sectors in the
United States allocation for the Fund were Energy and Financial, while
Transportation was the weakest performing sector.

 * Total returns include changes in share price and the reinvestment of income
   dividends and all capital gain distributions. The results for the Class A
   Shares of the Fund assume an initial sales charge of 4.50%. 

   Aggregate total returns are given for those classes of shares that have not 
   been operational for a full year.

** The inception date for the Fund's performance is April 9, 1996 with respect
   to the Institutional Shares, and April 11, 1996 with respect to the Class A
   Shares. Inception for the Index begins on the month-end closest to the
   inception date of the Fund (or class thereof).

   Performance figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of
   future results. The investment return and principal value of shares will
   fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the
   original amount invested.

   Global investing, especially in emerging markets, poses greater potential
   risks as well as rewards when compared to U.S. investing, as a result of
   market and currency fluctuations caused by political and financial factors
   abroad.

the Fund and are  identical  in all  respects  except  that  Class A and Class B
shares are subject to certain  service  organization/agent  fees as described in
Note 5.  Institutional  shares are not  subject to service  organization/  agent
fees.


2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The following is a summary of significant  accounting  policies used by the
Funds in the  preparation  of the financial  statements  which are in accordance
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The  preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles requires
management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts
and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

     (a)  SECURITY  VALUATION -- The value of  securities  (other than bonds and
debt  obligations  maturing  in 60 days or less) of the Funds  other  than Money
Market  Funds  is  determined  based on the last  sales  price on the  principal
exchange on which the securities  are traded as of the close of regular  trading
on the New York Stock Exchange (which is currently 4:00 P.M.,  Eastern time). In
the absence of any sale on the valuation  date, the securities are valued at the
closing bid price.  Securities traded only on the  over-the-counter  markets are
valued at the closing  over-the-counter  bid prices.  Portfolio securities which
are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the
closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges,  except when an
occurrence  subsequent to the time a value was so  established is likely to have
changed such value. In such an event, the fair value of those securities will be
determined  through the consideration of other factors by or under the direction
of the Board of Trustees and Board of  Directors of the Funds.  Bonds are valued
at the mean of the last bid and asked prices.  In the event that such prices are
not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may be. Prices
used for valuations of securities are provided by independent  pricing  services
and brokers.  Debt obligations with remaining  maturities of 60 days or less are
valued at  amortized  cost when the Trust's  Board of Trustees or the  Company's
Board of  Directors,  as the case may be, has  determined  that  amortized  cost
valuation represents fair value.

     Each of the Money Market Funds values its  investments  using the amortized
cost method, which involves initially valuing investments at cost and thereafter
assuming a constant  amortization  to maturity of any premium or discount.  This
method approximates market value.

     (b)  FOREIGN  CURRENCY   TRANSLATION  --  The  books  and  records  of  the
International  Fund and the  Hemisphere  Fund are  maintained  in U.S.  dollars.
Foreign  currency  amounts are  translated  into U.S.  dollars on the  following
basis:

          (i)  market  value  of   investment   securities,   other  assets  and
     liabilities at the current rate of exchange on the valuation date; and

          (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses
     at the relevant  rates of exchange  prevailing on the  respective  dates of
     such transactions.

     The International  Fund and the Hemisphere Fund do not isolate that portion
of gains and losses on investments in securities  which is due to changes in the
foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in the market prices of
such securities. The International Fund and the Hemisphere Fund report gains and
losses on foreign currency related transactions as realized and unrealized gains
and losses for financial reporting  purposes,  whereas such gains and losses, to
the extent  realized,  are treated as ordinary income or loss for federal income
tax purposes.

                              HARRIS INSIGHT FUNDS
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

     (c) FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES -- Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated  investment  company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute
substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to
shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required.

     (d)  DISTRIBUTIONS  --  Each  of the  Funds  declares  dividends  from  net
investment income. The Money Market Funds and the Fixed Income Funds (other than
the Convertible  Fund and Convertible  Securities  Fund) declare  dividends each
business  day to  shareholders  of  record  that day for  payment  on the  first
business  day of the  following  month.  Dividends  from the  Convertible  Fund,
Convertible  Securities  Fund and  Equity  Funds  (other  than  Small-Cap  Fund,
Small-Cap Value Fund,  International  Fund and Hemisphere Fund) are declared and
paid quarterly.  Dividends from the Small-Cap Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund and the
International  Fund are  declared  and paid  semi-annually.  Dividends  from the
Hemisphere Fund are declared and paid annually. Each Fund's net realized capital
gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

     The amounts of  distributions  from net investment  income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax  regulations,
which  may  differ  from  those  amounts  determined  under  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  These  book/tax  differences  are either  temporary  or
permanent in nature.  To the extent these  differences  are permanent,  they are
reclassified  within the capital  accounts to conform to their tax  treatment in
the period that the difference arises.

     (e)  FUTURES  CONTRACTS  -- The Funds may seek to hedge all or a portion of
their  investments  through the use of securities  index and  financial  futures
contracts.  Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit
an amount  ("initial  margin")  equal to a certain  percentage  of the  contract
value.  Subsequent  payments  ("variation  margin")  are made or received by the
Funds each day,  reflecting  the daily change in the value of the  contracts and
are recorded as an  unrealized  gain or loss.  When the contract is closed,  the
Funds will recognize a realized gain or loss.

     Futures  contracts  are subject to the risk  associated  with the imperfect
correlation  between movements in the price of the future contract and the price
of the securities being hedged. The risk of imperfect correlation increases with
respect to securities  index futures as the composition of the Fund's  portfolio
diverges  from  composition  of the index  underlying  such  index  futures.  In
addition, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist at the
time the Fund elects to close out a futures position.

     (f)  ORGANIZATION  EXPENSES -- Each Fund's  share of the costs  incurred in
connection with the organization of the Company and the Trust have been deferred
and are being  amortized over 60 months from  commencement  of operations of the
respective Fund.

     (g) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES -- Expenses which have not been directly charged
to a specific  Fund are  generally  allocated  among the Funds  primarily on the
basis of relative net  assets.Expenses  relating to a particular class of shares
are  charged  to the  respective  class of shares of a  Fund.Non-class  specific
expenses  are  allocated  between the classes of shares of a Fund based upon the
relative net assets of the classes of shares of a Fund.

     (h) DOLLAR ROLLS -- The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which
a Fund sells mortgage securities for delivery in the current month,  realizing a
gain or loss, and simultaneously  contracts to repurchase somewhat similar (same
type,  coupon and maturity)  securities on a specified  future date.  During the
roll period the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities.  The
Fund is compensated  by the interest  earned on the cash proceeds of the initial
sale and by the lower repurchase price at the future date.

     (i) OTHER -- Investment  transactions are recorded on trade date.  Interest
income,  including  the  amortization  of discount  or  premium,  is recorded as
earned.  Discounts and premiums on securities  purchased are amortized  over the
lives  of  the  respective  securities.  Dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the
ex-dividend date.

                                                                              85

3.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     Certain  Funds  invest in  repurchase  agreements.  Securities  pledged  as
collateral  for  repurchase  agreements  are held by the  custodian  bank  until
maturity of the repurchase  agreements.  Provisions of the repurchase agreements
and  procedures  adopted  by the  Funds  require  that the  market  value of the
collateral,  including accrued interest  thereon,  is sufficient in the event of
default by 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.


4.   ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

     The Company and the Trust retain  Harris  Trust and Savings  Bank  ("Harris
Trust") as investment  adviser (the "Adviser"),  pursuant to advisory  contracts
for each Fund.  As Adviser,  Harris  Trust is entitled to receive  fees  payable

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

     For the period  ended  December  31,  1996,  Harris  Trust also  reimbursed
expenses of $5,349 for the Convertible Fund.

     Harris Trust has entered into Portfolio  Management  Agreements with Harris
Investment  Management,  Inc.  ("HIM")  under  which HIM  undertakes  to furnish
investment  guidance and policy direction in connection with the daily portfolio
management of the Funds, other than the Tax-Exempt Money Fund. HIM, as portfolio
manager, receives a fee directly from Harris Trust, not from the Funds. HIM is a
subsidiary of Harris Trust.

     Jones Heward  Investment  Counsel Inc.  ("JHICI")  and Bancomer  Asesora de
Fondos,  S.A.  de  C.V.  ("Bancomer")  have  each  entered  into  an  Investment
Sub-Advisory Agreement with HIM with respect to the Hemisphere Fund. Pursuant to
these agreements JHICI selects and manages the Canadian  securities and Bancomer
selects and manages the Mexican securities in which the Hemisphere Fund invests.
Payments made to JHICI and Bancomer for these  services are made by HIM, and are
not separate expenses of the Hemisphere Fund.

     Prior to July 1, 1996, pursuant to an Administration and Accounting Service
Agreement and an  Administration  Agreement,  the Company and the Trust retained
PFPC Inc.  ("PFPC") and First Data Investor  Services Group, Inc. ("First Data")
as  Co-Administrator  and  Accounting  Service Agent and  Co-Administrator  (the
"Co-Administrators"),  respectively.  PFPC  also  served  as  the  transfer  and
dividend  disbursing agent (the "Transfer Agent") of the Funds. PNC Bank, N. A.,
served as the custodian (the  "Custodian") of the Funds.  PFPC and the Custodian
are indirect,  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of PNC Bank Corp. As compensation  for
their services, the Co-Administrators, the Transfer Agent and the Custodian were
entitled  to receive a combined  fee based on the  aggregate  average  daily net
assets of the Funds,  payable  monthly  at an annual  rate of 0.17% of the first
$300 million of average daily net assets;  0.15% of the next $300  million;  and
0.13% of the  average  net  assets in excess of $600  million.  In  addition,  a
separate fee was charged by PFPC for certain retail  transfer agent services and
for various custody transactional charges.

     Effective  July 1, 1996,  the  Company and the Trust each  entered  into an
Administration  Agreement  with  Harris  Trust  (the  "Administrator").  In  its
capacity as the  Administrator,  Harris Trust generally assists the Funds in all
aspects of their  administration  and operation.  The  Administrator has entered
into  a  Sub-Administration  Agreement  with  Funds  Distributor,  Inc.  ("Funds
Distributor"    or   the    "Sub-Administrator"),    pursuant   to   which   the
Sub-Administrator  performs certain  administrative  services for the Funds. The
Administrator has also entered into a Sub-Administration and Accounting Services
Agreement with PFPC (the  "Sub-Administrator  and Accounting  Services  Agent").
Under these Agreements,  the Administrator compensates the Sub-Administrator and
the  Sub-Administrator  and the  Accounting  Services  Agent for providing  such
services. Harris Trust also serves as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent
of the Funds  (the  "Transfer  Agent").  Harris  Trust has also  entered  into a
Sub-Transfer  Agency Services  Agreement with PFPC (the  "Sub-Transfer  Agent"),
pursuant to which the  Sub-Transfer  Agent continues to perform certain transfer
agency and dividend  disbursing  agency services.  Harris Trust  compensates the
Sub-Transfer  Agent for providing such  services.  PNC Bank,  N.A.  continues to
serve as the Custodian of the assets of the Funds. Under the new agreements,  as
compensation  for  their  services,   Harris  Trust,  in  its  capacity  as  the
Administrator  and Transfer  Agent,  and the Custodian are entitled to receive a
combined  fee based on the  aggregate  average  daily net  assets of the  Funds,
payable  monthly at an annual rate of 0.17% of the first $300 million of average
daily net assets;  0.15% of the next $300 million;  and 0.13% of the average net
assets in excess of $600  million.  These  fees are  similar  to those in effect
prior to July 1, 1996.

     Funds Distributor  provides services as distributor (the  "Distributor") in
connection with sales of shares of the Funds.  For the period ended December 31,
1996, fees for services rendered by the Distributor were

                                                                              87

10.  CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

     The Tax-Exempt Money Fund, Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund invest  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio  of  municipal  securities,
including  municipal bonds and debentures.  The Fixed Income Funds and the Money
Market Funds invest in debt  instruments.  The issuers'  abilities to meet their
obligations may be affected by political and economic developments in a specific
state or region or their respective industries.

                              HARRIS INSIGHT FUNDS
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

     The  International  Fund and the  Hemisphere  Fund invest in  securities of
foreign  issuers in various  countries.  These  investments  may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically  associated with investments in the U.S.,
as a result of, among other factors,  the  possibility  of future  political and
economic  developments and the level of governmental  supervision and regulation
of securities markets in the respective countries.


                                                                              93

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





THE SHAREHOLDERS, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
   HARRIS INSIGHT FUNDS
   HARRIS INSIGHT FUNDS TRUST

In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  and the  related
statements  of  operations  and of  changes  in net  assets  and  the  financial
highlights present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of
Harris Insight  Government Money Market Fund,  Harris Insight Money Market Fund,
Harris Insight  Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Harris Insight  Short/Intermediate
Bond Fund,  Harris  Insight  Convertible  Fund,  Harris  Insight Equity Fund and
Harris Insight  Hemisphere Free Trade Fund (comprising Harris Insight Funds) and
Harris Insight Bond Fund,  Harris  Insight  Intermediate  Tax-Exempt  Bond Fund,
Harris Insight  Tax-Exempt Bond Fund,  Harris Insight Equity Income Fund, Harris
Insight Growth Fund, Harris Insight  Small-Cap  Opportunity Fund, Harris Insight
Index Fund and Harris  Insight  International  Fund  (comprising  Harris Insight
Funds Trust) (hereafter referred to collectively as the "Funds") at December 31,
1996, and the results of each of their operations,  the changes in each of their
net assets and the financial  highlights for each of the periods  indicated,  in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These  financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  (hereafter  referred  to  as  "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these financial  statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing  standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits,  which  included  confirmation  of  securities  at December  31, 1996 by
correspondence  with the  custodians  and brokers and, with respect to unsettled
securities  transactions,  the application of alternative  auditing  procedures,
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
