Dear Shareholders:

     The general trend and increased volatility of the U.S. stock market
turned out as we expected for the first half of the fiscal year through
March 31, 1998.  With the Federal Reserve Board in a generally accomodative
posture with regard to interest rates and money supply, the market averages
continued to be strong.  There are, however, some things that have occurred
during this time which should not be overlooked.  Most significantly was the
stock market's ability to drop some 554 Dow Jones points in a single day, as
triggered by a sell-off in the Asian markets that could be characterized as
somewhat "out of the blue."  In spite of the increased volatility, 1997 ended
with consumer confidence at the highest level in 28 years.  Not since 1969 had
public been as optimistic about the general economic environment.  It is
important to remember that what followed in the stock market AFTER 1969 was a
period of downward adjustment in equity prices that culminated at the
"Watergate Bottom" in 1974.  In a study published recently by the Investment
Company Institute, 37.4% of U.S. households owned mutual funds in 1997.  That
percentage figure does not include those who own stocks or bonds directly
rather than through mutual funds.  The percentage of Americans involved in the
stock market is at an all-time high.
     With these things in mind, Neal Jordan, Senior Portfolio Manager of
Jordan American Holdings, Inc., the advisor to the Fund, continues to keep a
strong eye on the exit.

                                       /s/Charles R. Clark

     My primary objective in managing the Impact Management Growth Portfolio
is to attempt to control the Fund's assets in such a way that the Fund will be
consistently the beneficiary of both bull and bear market trends.
     I believe that our proactive management of the Fund allows us to take
full advantage of the Fund's range of investment policies as market conditions
warrant, and allows us to remain poised to act quickly in response to changes
in the trend of the market to benefit from major downward movements by the
market, rather than being victimized by them.
     The times of highest potential in the stock market always follow
important declines by the market.  We believe that nothing in stock market
investing is more important than taking maximum advantage of the major
opportunities which are created when important bottoms are made and new rising
trends follow.
     Our goal at all times is to remain in harmony with the long-term market
trend, thereby benefiting from major movements in both directions.  We expect
1998 to provide an excellent buying opportunity, followed by a powerfully
rising trend in the two years approaching the Presidential Election in the
year 2000.


                                       /s/W. Neal Jordan

Note 1.	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   A.  General Description

       Impact Management Investment Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a
       Massachusetts business trust on December 18, 1996.  The Trust is
       registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as
       a diversified, open-end management investment company.  Impact
       Management Growth Portfolio (the "Fund") is the initial Series of the
       Trust.  The Trust commenced operations on June 17, 1997, with the sale
       of 10,000 shares of beneficial interest of the Fund to Jordan American
       Holdings, Inc., d/b/a Equity Assets Management (the "Investment
       Advisor"), for cash in the amount of $100,000.  The Trust commenced
       investing in securities on September 16, 1997.

       The Trust's fiscal year end is September 30th.

   B.  Security Valuation

       Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or
       reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported
       sales price on the day of valuation.

   C.  Method of Reporting

       The financial statements are presented in accordance with generally
       accepted accounting principles, which require the use of certain
       estimates made by the Fund's management.  The Fund follows industry
       practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized
       gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Dividend
       income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is
       recorded on the accrual basis.

   D.  Federal Income Taxes

       No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Fund
       intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and
       distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders.

Note 2.	INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

       Purchases and sales of investment securities during the period were
       $3,155,133 and $916,022, respectively.  At March 31, 1998, the
       aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax and financial
       reporting purposes was $2,496,740 and net unrealized depreciation
       aggregated $63,360, of which $149,630 related to appreciated
       investments and $212,990 to depreciated investments.

Note 3.	INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

       The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the
       Investment Advisor.  The Investment Advisor makes investment decisions
       with respect to the assets of the Fund and reviews, supervises and
       administers the investment program of the Fund.  As compensation for
       services rendered, the Investment Advisor receives an annual investment
       advisory fee equal to 2.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
       The investment advisory fee, which may be voluntarily waived in whole
       or in part by the Investment Advisor, is paid on a monthly basis.
       Certain officers of the Trust and members of the Board of Trustees are
       also officers and directors of the Investment Advisor.

       Effective May 5, 1998, the investment advisory fee was reduced to an
       annual fee of 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
       Additionally, the Fund may now pay up to 1% of its average daily net
       assets per year for expenses incurred in the distribution and servicing
       of shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.

       A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Advisor, IMPACT Financial
       Network, Inc., a broker and dealer in securities registered with the
       Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the National
       Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., earned brokerage fees on the
       Fund's purchases and sales of investment securities aggregating
       approximately $23,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998.

Note 4.	ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

	The Trust has entered into an administrative services agreement with
        IMPACT Administrative Services, Inc. (the "Administrator"), a wholly-
        owned subsidiary of the Investment Advisor.  Under the agreement, the
        Administrator provides administrative personnel and services necessary
        to operate the Fund and provides transfer agent and dividend
        disbursing agent services.  The Administrator bears substantially all
        operating expenses of the Fund, excluding brokerage fees, interest
        charges and taxes.  For these services, the Administrator is paid a
        fee of $165.00 per account, per year.  One twelfth of the annual fee
        paid to the Administrator is charged to shareholder accounts at each
        month end as a redemption of shares of beneficial interest.  Total
        fees charged to shareholder accounts amounted to $6,188 for the six
        months ended March 31, 1998.
