Dear Shareholders,
The IMPACT Total Return Portfolio had its most successful year in providing
investment results for its investors in fiscal 2000, though the U.S. stock
market has had significantly greater volatility over the past 12 months. As
opined in our semi-annual report dated March 31, 2000, "The time appears to be
right for a well-timed, valued-oriented portfolio of securities to be part of an
investor's core holdings.", and indeed that has played itself out in the second
half of fiscal year 2000. The fund's investment advisor, Equity Assets
Management, focused on the more reliable cyclical patterns of the stock market
as delineated in their proprietary analysis and kept the fund heavily invested
in equity securities throughout the past year. That combined with Schneider
Capital Management's capable handling of and focus on identifying value stocks
in which change is foreseeable but not yet reflected in the company's stock has
achieved an important facet of the fund's objective, namely, providing capital
appreciation.
At the time of this writing, we still do not know who our president will be
in the United States. Uncertainty and surprises are the two factors that the
stock market dislikes more than any other. To summarize - the uncertainties that
have been in place in the U.S. stock market over the past 18 months have
included: Y2K fears, Federal Reserve interest rate policy and Federal Open
Market Committee activity and the outcome of the U.S. presidential election.
Only the third item in this list however, the outcome of the presidential
election, can be said to have negatively jolted the stock market with both
surprise and uncertainty. The other influences worked only in the arena of
uncertainty, not surprise. It is safe to say that the U.S. will eventually get a
president and that point will likely come when the court of public opinion turns
on the candidates for protracting the election process.
As for the economy, it has shown signs of slowing down in the second half
of 2000. At times during that period there has been talk of the economy
experiencing a soft landing. The question that now appears most pertinent is
this, will the Federal Reserve give the green light to the stock market by
saying one of the two following things, and if so, when? First, and less
positive for the market, would be if the Fed were to simply say nothing more
about their inflation concerns following a Federal Open Market Committee
meeting. Or, secondly, they could be more aggressive and state that they are
essentially no longer concerned about inflation thus communicating to the stock
market that they are through raising rates, even leaving the door open to
lowering rates later.
Equity Assets Management's expectations are that the market cycle and
business cycle will complete their normal duration and that the market likely
has more upside left in it. After the cycles run their course the second facet
of the fund's objective, income, through positioning the fund's assets in
interest bearing cash equivalent securities will likely then come into play as
the focus shifts from capital appreciation to protection of the investment
capital. In the meantime, stockpicking by the fund's sub-advisor, Arnie
Schneider of Schneider Capital Management, who has been described in a Barron's
Magazine article as an "artist," will continue and we will eagerly watch as
results progress.
Sincerely,
Charles R. Clark
Chairman - Impact Management Investment Trust

=============================
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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
(formerly 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 began
offering four classes of shares of beneficial interest (See Note 3).
SECURITIES VALUATION
--------------------
Investments in securities listed or traded on a securities exchange are
valued at the last quoted sales price on the securities' 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.
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 securities 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.
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 of
its taxable income to its shareholders.

NOTE 2. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, during the year ended September 30, 2000 were $18,568,672 and
$12,346,872, respectively. At September 30, 2000, the aggregate cost of
investments for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes was
$2,898,457 and net unrealized appreciation aggregated $78,560, of which
$485,175 related to appreciated investments and $406,615 to depreciated
investments.
NOTE 3. FEES, EXPENSES 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 based on
the Fund's average daily net assets. The investment advisory fee is
calculated daily and paid monthly. Effective May 1, 1999 the Trust entered
into a sub-advisory agreement with Schneider Capital Management, Inc.
("Schneider"). Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement, the Investment
Advisor pays Schneider monthly at the rate of 60 basis points annually, out
of its advisory fee.
The Trust has a Distribution Plan 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 based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.
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. For these services, IASI was paid a fee of $165.00 per account
through April 30, 1999. The annual fee paid to IASI was charged to
shareholder accounts at each month end as a redemption of shares of
beneficial interest. Subsequent to April 30, 1999, the Trust began charging
an administrative service fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund.
The administrative service fee is calculated daily and paid monthly to
IASI. In addition, when a shareholder closes an account, IASI is paid a fee
of $2.00 which is charged to the shareholder as a redemption of shares of
beneficial interest.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
IMPACT Management Investment Trust
IMPACT Total Return Portfolio
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of IMPACT
Total Return Portfolio (the "Fund"), a Series of IMPACT Management Investment
Trust, including the schedule of investments in securities, as of September 30,
2000, and the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30,
2000 and changes in net assets and financial highlights for the years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 1998
and the period from inception (June 17, 1997) to September 30, 1997 were audited
by other auditors whose report dated October 22, 1998 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of September 30, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IMPACT
Total Return Portfolio, a Series of IMPACT Management Investment Trust, as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations, changes in its
net assets and the financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
