A MESSAGE FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN....

Dear Shareholders,

     The IMPACT Total Return Portfolio achieved solid results for the first half
of its fiscal year,  October 1, 1999  through  March 31,  2000.  Volatility  and
uncertainty  were the primary  characteristics  associated  with the U.S.  stock
market  during that same period of time.  In 1999,  the  uncertainties  centered
around  concerns  over Y2K and then  beginning  in 2000,  the focus  shifted  to
Federal Reserve Board policy  regarding  interest  rates.  Though Fed policy has
many investors  wondering how far the Federal Open Market Committee will go with
rates and the resulting  restriction on the U.S. economy,  the fund's investment
advisor has a different  perspective  on their  activity.  Rather than having an
objective of  restriction on the U.S.  economy,  the Fed may very well be simply
supplying the necessary  uncertainty to keep the rising market trend intact.  In
other  words,  rather  than the  market  getting  so far ahead of itself  that a
reactionary  debacle  ensues,  uncertainty  is having the effect of keeping  the
party under control.

     The volatility that the market has seen has also been difficult,  at times,
for  investors.  Much  commotion  was  raised  early in the  first  part of 2000
regarding margin debt reaching excessive levels. Shortly thereafter,  the market
in general and NASDAQ in particular set about adjusting out much of that excess.
The significant sell-off in NASDAQ served to bring an increased awareness of the
need for revenues and earnings, not just great ideas and hopeful business plans.
The resulting rise in the price structure of the "old economy" stocks  following
the sell-off  indicates  that value and companies  with proven track records are
not  entirely a thing of the past.  However,  selectivity  still  dominates  the
market condition overall, so careful stock selection is crucial.

     The time appears to be right for a well-timed,  value-oriented portfolio of
securities to be part of an investor's  core  holdings.  The IMPACT Total Return
Portfolio has just such a focus.  We look forward to strength in the second half
of the year 2000 as the presidential election unfolds.


Sincerely,
Charles R. Clark
Chairman

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 Total
          Return  Portfolio,  f/k/a  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.

          Effective May 1, 1999,  the Trust changed the name of the Portfolio to
          the Impact Total Return Portfolio  consistent with the changes made to
          the  investment  objective  and policies.  Effective May 1, 1999,  the
          Trust offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest.

     B.   Security Valuation

          Investments  in securities  listed or traded on a securities  exchange
          are 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
          market,  are valued at the mean between the last closing bid and asked
          prices in the market on that day.

     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,  other than  short-term
          investments,   during  the  period  were  $6,343,571  and  $9,439,100,
          respectively. At March 31, 2000, the aggregate cost of investments for
          federal income tax and financial reporting purposes was $3,491,542 and
          net unrealized depreciation aggregated $(380,327).

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 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net
          assets.  The  investment  advisory  fee is  calculated  daily and paid
          monthly.

          Effective May 1, 1999,  the Trust and the Investment  Advisor  entered
          into  a  sub-investment  advisory  agreement  with  Schneider  Capital
          Management  in which the  sub-advisor  receives  from the  advisor  an
          annual  investment  advisory  fee equal to .60% of the Fund's  average
          daily net assets.

          Effective  May 5, 1998, a  Distribution  Plan was adopted by the Trust
          pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.  Under the  provisions  of the
          Distribution  Plan, the Fund pays or reimburses the Investment Advisor
          affiliates or other third parties for expenses  incurred in connection
          with the promotion and  distribution of the Fund's shares in an amount
          up to 1% per annum for Retail  Class  shares of the average  daily net
          assets of each Class.  Effective May 1, 1999, this plan was amended to
          change the name of the  Portfolio to Impact  Total  Return  Portfolio,
          Retail Class.

          Also,  effective May 1, 1999, a  Distribution  Plan was adopted by the
          Trust for the  Traditional  Class and Wholesale Class pursuant to Rule
          12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Under the provisions of the Distribution  Plan,
          the Fund pays or reimburses the Investment Advisor affiliates or other
          third parties for expenses  incurred in connection  with the promotion
          and  distribution  of the  Fund's  shares  in an amount up to .25% per
          annum of the average daily net assets of each class.

          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 $0 and was reimbursed $26,581 pursuant to the provisions
          of the Distribution Plan for the six months ended March 31, 2000.

          Certain officers of the Trust and members of the Board of Trustees are
          also officers and directors of the Investment Advisor.

Note 4.   ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
          -----------------------

          Effective  May 5,  1998,  the  Trust  entered  into an  administrative
          service agreement with Impact Administrative  Services, Inc. ("IASI"),
          a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Investment  Advisor.  Under  the
          agreement,   IASI  provides  administrative   personnel  and  services
          necessary to operate the Fund  including  transfer  agent and dividend
          disbursing  agent  services.  IASI bears  substantially  all operating
          expenses of the Fund,  excluding  brokerage fees, interest charges and
          taxes

          Effective May 1, 1999,  the Trust amended the  administrative  service
          agreement with IASI that changes the fee  structure.  Effective May 1,
          1999, IASI is paid a fee equal to .35% of the Fund's average daily net
          assets.  Total fees  incurred by the Trust for the  six-months  ended,
          March 31, 2000 amounted to $10,406..

          In addition,  when a shareholder closes an account, IASI is paid a fee
          of $2.00 which is charged to the  shareholder  as redemption of shares
          of beneficial interest.

Note 5.   CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
          ---------------------

          The net assets of the fund have dropped from  $6,270,819  at September
          30, 1999 to $3,569,483 at March 31, 2000. This is predominantly due to
          redemptions that were made by investors who, at the direction of their
          advisers,  repositioned  their  assets into various  other  investment
          vehicles  over  the  period.  It is  anticipated  that  this  type  of
          repositioning,  as a percentage  of the overall  fund assets,  will be
          less significant in the future as the fund has been recharacterized to
          be consistent  with its investment  objective as a more  conservative,
          core  holding  by  those  who  are  presently  marketing  the  fund to
          prospective investors.
