A Message from the President

Dear Shareholder

During the first quarter 1996,  U.S.  equity markets  remained strong as the Dow
Jones Industrial  Average gained 9.77% while the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Index increased 5.37%.  International markets also did well through quarter-end,
with European markets posting  impressive gains.  Domestic bond prices retreated
during the first  quarter  amid fears of higher  inflation  and rising  interest
rates.  Most  economists  predict that inflation will remain under control which
should create a stable environment for both equity and fixed-income investments.
However,  investors  should be aware that  neither  stocks nor bonds will likely
repeat their double digit returns of 1995.

Asset growth  continues to be impressive  for both Princor and the entire mutual
fund  industry.  Total  assets of Princor  funds were $2.6 billion at the end of
March 1996.  This represents a 37% increase in fund assets for the past year and
a 254% growth in assets over the past five years.

On February 29, we introduced a new  income-oriented  fund-Princor  Limited Term
Bond Fund-to fill the  investment  niche  between  money market funds and longer
term bond funds.  The Fund makes a good selection for investors  seeking returns
greater than those of a money market fund, but who are less comfortable with the
increased market  fluctuation  associated with longer maturity bonds. If Princor
Limited  Term  Bond  Fund  sounds  like it may have a place  in your  portfolio,
contact your registered representative for more information.

In other  investment  news,  the  management  and  directors of Princor  Capital
Accumulation  Fund have decided to modify the strategy for  achieving the Fund's
investment  objective.  For several years, the investment advisor has followed a
strategy  based  on the  use of  common  stocks  with a  variety  of  investment
characteristics.  This  strategy  sought to  realize  the  Fund's  objective  of
long-term  capital  appreciation  and growth of  investment  income.  Though the
strategy is being modified, the Fund objective remains unchanged. Going forward,
the investment  advisor will follow a more focused  strategy often  described as
value investing.  Value investing refers to the selection of stocks of companies
which have  above-average  dividend yields and  below-average  current prices as
measured by their  price-to-earnings  ratios. The primary  concentration will be
companies with a medium to large market capitalization.  The directors feel this
modified  approach  will help  current and  potential  investors  have a clearer
understanding  of  the  investment  focus  of the  Fund,  while  continuing  the
favorable  pattern  of  investment   results  achieved  in  recent  years.  Once
initiated,  the  strategy  shift will be gradual  and take a number of months to
complete.

By now,  most of you have  received  your  first  consolidated  Princor  account
statement.  In  addition,  many of you  will  now  receive  only one copy of our
semiannual  report.  Both of these  enhancements  are the  result of our  recent
conversion  to a new  shareholder  recordkeeping  system.  This is just one more
example of our  committment  to providing the finest in mutual fund products and
services to you, our shareholder.

Sincerely,



STEPHAN L. JONES

MANAGER'S COMMENTS

Princor  Management  Corporation,  the adviser to the Princor funds,  is staffed
with investment professionals who manage each individual fund. Comments by these
individuals  in the following  paragraphs  summarize in capsule form the general
strategy  and recent  results of each fund over the past six months.  We believe
any Princor fund should, under normal circumstances, represent only a portion of
an  investor's  total  investments.  For most  investors a  portfolio  should be
balanced among stocks,  bonds, and cash reserves to fit their own needs and risk
tolerance.  Those who maintain  this  balanced  approach  should be aware of the
short-term results, but focus on the long term. Past performance is no guarantee
of  future  results.  Fund  values  will  fluctuate  so that  the  shares,  upon
redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Growth-Oriented Funds

Princor Balanced Fund

Judi Vogel

The most  significant  event  affecting  balanced  portfolios in this semiannual
period was the  increase in interest  rates  caused by  stronger  than  expected
economic  growth in the second half of the period.  Bond investors  pushed rates
higher  as  signs of  strength,  particularly  employment  gains,  which  fueled
inflation concerns.  Despite the market's worries, actual inflation remains well
under control, with no significant pressures in sight. The stockmarket continued
to make gains,  boosted more by record cash flows into equity  mutual funds than
by fundamentals. Increasing levels of market volatility resulted from investors'
uncertainty  about the  direction  of the  economy and the  constantly  changing
outlook for corporate earnings.

As a balanced  fund, we  participate in both the equity and fixed income markets
through a diversified blend of investments in common stocks,  convertible bonds,
US Treasury  securities,  and cash.  Stocks have been strong performers over the
last  six  months  while  bond  returns  have  moderated.  Looking  ahead we are
positioning the account to be less sensitive to the economic  cycle.  After five
years of economic  expansion,  we expect growth to slow by 1997. Higher interest
rates will only accelerate this process.  We are currently focusing on companies
that can provide earnings growth regardless of the state of the economy.

Princor Blue Chip Fund

Mark Williams  

During  the  past  six  months,  stronger  than  expected  economic  news and an
increasingly strong dollar adversely affected the Fund's relative returns. After
the strong  employment  reports of February and March,  investors rotated out of
companies the Fund  typically  holds and into those  companies  that get greater
benefits from a strengthening economy,  i.e., cyclicals.  This is evident by the
strong  performance of the Basic  Material,  Consumer  Cyclical,  and Industrial
sectors.

A strengthening  dollar penalized earnings  comparisons of multinationals due to
currency  translations.  Smaller  companies have been the main  beneficiaries as
investors  rotated  out of  multinationals  in an attempt to avoid the  negative
currency implications.

It appears  corporate  profit  growth has peaked for this  cycle.  If so,  those
companies that can exhibit consistent earnings growth should benefit. The Fund's
holdings are well positioned for this event.

Princor Capital Accumulation Fund

David White         

Our strategy is to hold common  stocks that will produce  better rates of return
if bought and held forever.  Our analysis is very similar to the approach  which
companies take when making acquisitions.  Future cash flows are weighted against
today's price.  This is our "bottom up" approach.  Overlaying this approach is a
"top down"  strategy.  We look at the big picture:  the  economy,  international
trade,  secular  industry  trends,  earnings  and the  stock  market.  Any macro
insights help select specific investments for the portfolio.

We are concerned about the ability of our economic system to continue generating
strong earnings  gains. As a consequence,  we favor companies that will continue
to grow earnings even if aggregate profits slow or decline.  After substantially
trimming the account's  cyclical exposure in 1995, more modest cuts occurred the
past six months.  Today,  the account is neutral with regard to cyclical stocks.
The Spring  1996  economic  rebound  will be short lived but give us a chance to
further reduce the account's exposure to cyclical companies.

Princor Emerging Growth Fund

Mike Hamilton         

The  portfolio  has been  structured  to take  advantage  of our broad themes of
productivity  enhancements,  an aging population trend and lower interest rates.
The  structure  has  resulted  in  investment   concentration   in   technology,
financials,  growth  cyclicals  and  healthcare.  We have chosen to  underweight
utilities,  energy and consumer areas.  The Emerging Growth Fund trailed the S&P
500 for 1995 primarily  because of the differences in sector weighting  compared
to the  market.  The  emphasis  on  cyclical  growth and  financial  stocks hurt
performance against benchmarks. An economic slowdown seemed to be anticipated by
investors and they sold off economically sensitive stocks.

Going  forward,  the  portfolio  remains  positioned  to capture  growth from an
elongated  economic cycle.  The current slowing in economic  activity should set
the stage for  further  growth;  therefore  we  continue  to  overweight  growth
cyclicals.  These  companies  are low-cost  producers  with niche  markets whose
revenues should benefit from the trend toward more outsourcing.

Princor Growth Fund

Mike Hamilton          

The equity  markets had a banner year in 1995.  With inflation  seemingly  under
control,  interest  rates eased  supporting a robust stock market.  In addition,
corporate profits had one of their better increases than had been seen in a long
time.  The  portfolio has been  structured  around a theme of  productivity  and
manufacturing efficiency.  The companies that can enable the enhancement of both
labor and  machines  should be in a stronger  position  than their  competition.
Another  related theme has been the  demographic  growth of babyboomers  and the
corresponding need for healthcare and financial services.

The healthcare sector has been one of the strongest in the portfolio in the past
year or so. The fund did trail the S&P 500 given the  selloff in the  Technology
sector in the fourth quarter.  While no major change is planned currently in the
portfolio we continue to focus on those  companies  that are best  positioned to
take market share from their  competitors,  develop new markets and products and
sell into a global marketplace.  Also, we favor companies with proven management
that have the skills to operate profitably in this competitive environment.

Princor World Fund

Scott Opsal          

The Princor World Fund significantly outperformed the EAFE Index and the average
international fund because of overweightings in cyclicals and health care, large
exposures in Europe, and an underweighting in Japan. After falling late in 1995,
cyclicals have rallied early in 1996 providing a significant return advantage to
the  World  Fund  based  on  its  overweighting  in  the  sector.   Mergers  and
restructuring  in the drug industry have also provided  significant  incremental
returns on the  Fund's  healthcare  holdings.  Currency  has  worked  against US
investors  recently as the US dollar  strengthened vs. most currencies,  however
the World Fund  experienced  less  currency loss than average due to a favorable
country mix.

European  economies  continue  to move ahead at a slow rate and we do not expect
European Gross  Domestic  Product to grow outside of a 1% to 2% range this year.
On a  worldwide  basis,  the  signals  regarding  economic  growth  in the major
economies are ambiguous. Because of this outlook, the Fund's current strategy is
to search for stable growth companies and significantly  underpriced situations.
We also  maintain our deeply  discounted  cyclical  positions in case  economies
strengthen.

Income-Oriented Funds

Princor Bond Fund

Don Brattebo  

Bond markets have been very volatile this past 6 months and this is reflected in
the Fund's  performance.  To illustrate,  the yield on the 10 year U.S. Treasury
Note was at the 6.00% level at the beginning of November and dropped to 5.57% by
the end of January.  However,  the last three months saw a complete  reversal of
fixed  income  markets  with bond values  tumbling and the yield on that same 10
year Treasury Note jumping way up to 6.67%.

The  major  influence  on  the  bond  market  continues  to be the  outlook  for
inflation.  Market  analysts,  strategists,  economists  and portfolio  managers
continually  scrutinize,  upon its release, every bit of economic data trying to
find the "magic"  formula that will  divulge  where  inflation is truly  headed.
Consequently,  we can expect volatility to remain an element to be dealt with in
fixed income  markets  during coming months  because  currently  there is a wide
variance of opinion on the subject.

The objective of the Bond Fund is to deliver an attractive  total rate of return
to our shareholders  over the long term.  Therefore,  we will continue to resist
the pressures to skip from one course to another  based on emotional  reactions.
Our philosophy is to find the better values on a day-to-day basis and combine it
with   accurate   credit   underwriting,   good   call   protection   and  broad
diversification.  These  are  necessary  ingredients  for long  term  successful
performance.

Princor Government Securities Income Fund

Marty Schafer

The drop in interest  rates,  coupled with our controlled  duration,  led to our
strong results in 1995. After 1995's powerful bond market rally,  interest rates
were  poised for a rise in the first  quarter  of 1996.  Since our  duration  is
somewhat longer than our  competitors,  when rates rise we will  underperform in
comparison and when rates fall our  performance is superior.  We try to keep our
duration  between five and six years.  Duration  measures the sensitivity of the
value of the mortgage-backed securities to changes in interest rates.

Our  disciplined  approach  of running a  portfolio  priced at or below par once
again provided our shareholders with strong performance.  We continue to believe
the value of discount mortgage securities should persist, as they are powered by
fundamental  and technical  forces.  As always,  our focus  continues to be long
term,  striking an  appropriate  relationship  between  current income and total
return.

Princor High Yield Fund

Ken Hovey

As with our fixed income investments, the last six months has been difficult for
high yield securities as interest rates have increased  causing market values to
fall.  The Treasury  market  increased in yield during the period on  maturities
longer than one year.  Increases  varied but were generally up between 30 and 40
basis points.  High yield securities have outperformed other bond investments as
its risk premium  narrowed  during the six month period.  This narrowing  helped
cushion the change in risk free Treasuries.

Our Fund has been performing about in line with the high yield market overall as
measured by the Lehman Brothers High Yield market weighted participations in all
sectors of high yield.  Our Fund is composed of nearly equal amounts of BB and B
bonds. Those two sectors compose the vast majority of high yield. However, there
are riskier  segments  including  CCC and lower rated bonds,  deferred  interest
bonds,  equities of high yield  companies,  and  distressed  debt that we do not
purchase.  Our lack of participation in those sectors,  and  underweighting of B
bonds as  compared  to many if not most other  high  yield  funds has caused our
Fund's  return for the six months to be lower than the Lipper High Yield average
yield.  Risk premiums have narrowed  proportionately  more on higher risk assets
causing their returns to be higher over the six month period.

We continue to believe that our conservative strategy of investing in a blend of
B and  BB  bonds  will  provide  the  best  risk  adjusted  returns  over  time.
Additionally,  we believe that high yield belongs in most portfolios as an asset
type that is fixed income in nature, but has some equity  characteristics  which
allow it the potential to do well as compared to other fixed income  instruments
and without the volatility of equities.

Princor Limited Term Bond Fund

Marty Schafer          

The  effective  start  date  for  this  fund  was  February  29,  1996.  Initial
investments consisted of 46% corporate bonds, 50% mortgage-backed securities and
4%  commercial  paper.  High grade A or better  corporate  bond  purchases  were
laddered, with maturities ranging from 1998 to 2001.  Mortgage-backed securities
have  some  prepayment  risk,  and a  careful  review  was  done to  insure  the
underlying  loans backing these pools were located in economically  weak regions
of the U.S. In economically weak regions,  housing prices were depressed,  which
prevents many homeowners from  refinancing  their existing  mortgage.  Given the
very high quality of the portfolio and its  strategically  stratified cash flow,
we believe  this fund is well  positioned  as a low risk  alternative  for fixed
income investors.

Princor Tax-Exempt Bond Fund

Dan Garrett  

The past six months  have been a mix of falling  interest  rates in the last two
months  of 1995  then a sharp  rise  through  April  1996.  There  also has been
extraordinary  focus on the  federal  budget  and tax  reform as  election  year
primaries generated discussion of potential policy agendas. While there has been
much speculation  about tax reform,  the general consensus is that there will be
little impact on municipal bonds.

We have  continued  to focus on the long  term  total  return of the fund as our
primary  goal.  We have  reduced the  volatility  of the Fund by buying  shorter
maturities, while maintaining focus on the need for current income.

Princor Utilities Fund

Catherine Green 

The  Utilities  sector  proved to be an active  place to be invested  during the
latest six months.  From October to January,  the  environment  was positive for
these  stocks and the outlook was  positive.  For the last three  months of this
semiannual  period,  we found a much greater  struggle in these  companies.  The
first and foremost  reason for the movement was interest  rates.  Utility  stock
prices tend to move in the opposite  direction as the interest  rates move.  So,
when  interest  rates rise,  utility  stock prices tend to decline,  and that is
indeed what happened in the second three months.

The second  impact on this sector  related to quality.  We have been moving from
full regulation to a more competitive  environment for electric utilities. As we
move  closer to the day of  competition,  the market is  looking  closer for the
companies  who will be the most  successful.  These are the  companies  that the
market was most  positive on in the past six  months.  These also tend to be the
types of companies we seek as investments for the Fund. On the telephone side of
the utility sector,  we have new legislation  that was passed early in 1996. Its
implications  on the earnings of these  companies is yet unclear.  However,  the
volatility  of these stocks has  increased  as the market  continues to sort out
what it considers important factors in this new era.

Mike Johnson                 Steve Schneider     

During the first half of the  Princor  fiscal  year 1996,  the  Federal  Reserve
stepped in twice and  lowered  the  targeted  Fed Funds rate a total of 50 basis
points to the 5.25%  level  where it  currently  remains.  After the  release of
stronger than  anticipated  first quarter Gross Domestic  Product and employment
results,  Chairman  Greenspan  indicated that the Fed will probably not take any
additional  near-term rate action assuming the economy continues to grow without
any eminent  danger of  inflation  heating  up. The average  maturity of our own
portfolio,  as well as that of the industry, rose throughout much of the half as
investors were  anticipating that rates would continue to move lower. Once hopes
of additional easing subsided, average maturities declined and have subsequently
leveled off. We continue to target and actively monitor the industry averages to
keep both yields and average  maturities in line.  Both  portfolios  continue to
invest from a list of approved  issues of the highest  credit  quality  actively
managed by our investment securities analytical staff. Through the first quarter
of 1996, assets for both the Princor taxable and tax-exempt portfolios,  as well
as those industry-wide, continue to reach new record high levels.

             Princor Growth-Oriented Funds and Your Financial Future

Recently,  the  financial  press has  reported  on the huge influx of money into
stock mutual funds. According to The Wall Street Journal,  investors poured more
than $55  billion  into equity  mutual  funds  during the first  quarter of 1996
alone.  Experts cite many  reasons for the  inpouring of money into stock funds,
but typically investors choose growth-oriented funds for these three reasons:
 
    - the need for growth of capital in pursuing their long-term financial goals
    - the preference for a diversified, professionally managed portfolio
    - the desire to hedge their assets against the effects of inflation
 
Whether  you  attain  your  long-term  financial  goals  depends  greatly on the
performance of your  investments.  Though past results cannot  guarantee  future
returns,  historically common stocks have outperformed other investment classes.
From 1925 to 1995,  common  stocks,  as  measured  by the  Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Index, achieved much greater returns than Treasury bills and long-term
government bonds. Investors should remember that an investment in stocks carries
with it a greater risk of share price  fluctuation  and loss of principal.

After deciding to invest in equities,  the next challenge is selecting the right
investment.  For most individuals,  finding the time and expertise  necessary to
invest  successfully  in the stock market is  difficult.  This problem is easily
solved by using a family  of high  quality  mutual  funds,  such as the  Princor
family  of mutual  funds.  By using  mutual  funds for  funding  your  long-term
financial  goals,   you  achieve  two  things.   First,  you  gain  a  level  of
diversification  difficult to accomplish if buying stocks and bonds on your own.
Secondly,  you receive  the  benefit of knowing  that your money is managed by a
staff of highly qualified,  professional  money managers.  The Princor family of
mutual  funds  offers a choice of seven  different  growth-oriented  funds which
range from conservative to aggressive.

If you are still asking yourself if the potential for greater returns  outweighs
the additional risks of investing in stock funds, ask this question: What is the
greatest  risk faced by most  investors?  For many,  the answer is that they may
outlive their income.

To help avoid outliving your income,  your  investments need to provide a return
higher than the rate of inflation.  One time-proven  method of beating inflation
is to invest in  growth-oriented  mutual funds.  Besides providing the potential
for capital  appreciation,  stock funds can also provide an excellent  source of
income when you are ready to start taking  withdrawals.  Surprised?  Don't be. A
service provided to Princor shareholders who seek regular income is the periodic
withdrawal  program.  The periodic  withdrawal  program allows  shareholders  to
establish a plan whereby a check or wire transfer is issued  automatically  from
their account in a predetermined amount either monthly, quarterly,  semiannually
or annually.  Since certain  considerations  apply to periodic withdrawal plans,
please see the Princor fund prospectus for full details.

Below is an example of how a growth-oriented mutual fund can generate income and
still increase in value. Assume that on 4/1/76, $100,000 was invested in Princor
Capital  Accumulation  Fund-A. On 12/31/76,  a 6% annual periodic  withdrawal is
taken. On December 31 of each year thereafter, the periodic withdrawal amount is
indexed for  inflation  using an assumed rate of 3%. Over the next twenty years,
withdrawals   totaling   over  $160,000  are   distributed   from  the  account.
Twenty-years later on 3/31/96,  despite the withdrawals the value of the account
is $529,515.

By selecting Princor Capital  Accumulation  Fund-A,  the investors  achieved two
goals: 1) to receive regular income in the form of periodic  withdrawals helping
them to  maintain  their  lifestyle  and 2) to  continue  the  growth  of  their
investment  in hopes of providing for their  beneficiaries.  Each of these goals
might not have been met if the investors  had not kept a long-term  perspective,
realized  that the  investment  would  fluctuate in value and redefined the term
risk to mean loss of purchasing power!

As you can see, Princor  growth-oriented  funds offer several compelling reasons
to invest!  Their potential for capital  appreciation and their ability to fight
off inflation are complemented by diversification  and professional  management!
Let Princor  growth-oriented  funds help you achieve your  long-term  investment
goals.  Contact your  registered  representative  for  assistance  in creating a
portfolio of Princor  growth-oriented  funds designed with your financial future
in mind.

For the period  ending  3/31/96,  the average  annual total  returns for Princor
Capital  Accumulation  Fund-A  assuming  a maximum  sales  charge of 4.75%  are:
one-year 22.7%,  five-years 12.6% and ten-years  10.3%.  The investment  results
shown here are historical and are not intended to indicate future performance of
any Princor fund.  The  illustration  assumes  investment in A shares,  reflects
deduction  of a 3.75% sales  charge (not the maximum  sales charge of 4.75%) and
assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Totals do not
reflect taxes or inflation. Had dividends and capital gains not been reinvested,
results would be lower.  Investment  returns and principal  values  fluctuate so
that the shares,  when  redeemed,  may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

Note 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

Princor  Balanced Fund,  Inc.,  Princor Blue Chip Fund,  Inc.,  Princor  Capital
Accumulation  Fund, Inc.,  Princor  Emerging Growth Fund,  Inc.,  Princor Growth
Fund,  Inc. and Princor  World Fund,  Inc. (the "Growth  Funds") are  registered
under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  as open-end  diversified
management investment companies and operate in the mutual fund industry.

On December 5, 1994, the name of Princor Managed Fund, Inc. was changed to
Princor Balanced Fund, Inc.

On December 5, 1994, the initial purchases of Class B shares of the Growth Funds
were made by Princor Management Corporation (See Note 3). All shares outstanding
prior to the initial  Class B share  purchases  have been  classified as Class A
shares. Effective December 9, 1994, the Growth Funds also began offering Class B
shares to the public.  On February  27, 1996,  the initial  purchases of Class R
shares of the Growth Funds were made by Princor Management Corporation (See Note
3). Effective  February 29, 1996, the Growth Funds began offering Class R shares
to eligible purchasers.

Class A  shares  generally  are  sold  with an  initial  sales  charge  based on
declining  rates and certain  purchases may be subject to a contingent  deferred
sales charge ("CDSC").  Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge,
but are subject to a declining CDSC on certain  redemptions  redeemed within six
years of purchase.  Class R shares are sold without an initial  sales charge and
are not  subject  to a CDSC.  Class B shares  and  Class R shares  bear a higher
ongoing  distribution  fee than  Class A  shares.  Class B shares  automatically
convert into Class A shares,  based on relative net asset value (without a sales
charge)  after seven years.  Class R shares  automatically  convert into Class A
shares,  based on relative net asset value  (without a sales  charge) after four
years.  All  classes of shares  for each fund  represent  interests  in the same
portfolio of investments,  and will vote together as a single class except where
otherwise  required by law or as  determined by the Fund's  respective  Board of
Directors.  In addition,  the Board of  Directors of each fund declare  separate
dividends on each class of shares.

The Growth Funds allocate daily all income,  expenses (other than class-specific
expenses),  and realized and unrealized  gains or losses to each class of shares
based upon the relative  proportion of the value of shares  outstanding  of each
class.  Class-specific  expenses,  which include  distribution  and  shareholder
servicing  fees and any other items  specifically  attributable  to a particular
class, are charged directly to such class.

The Growth  Funds  value  securities  for which  market  quotations  are readily
available at market  value,  which is  determined  using the last  reported sale
price or, if no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities
traded  over-the-counter,  the last  reported bid price.  When  reliable  market
quotations  are not considered to be readily  available,  which may be the case,
for  example,  with  respect to certain debt  securities,  preferred  stocks and
foreign  securities,  the  investments  are valued by using  market  quotations,
prices  provided by market  makers or estimates of market  values  obtained from
yield data and other factors  relating to instruments or securities with similar
characteristics in accordance with procedures  established in good faith by each
fund's Board of Directors.  Securities  with remaining  maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.

With respect to Princor  World Fund,  Inc.,  the value of foreign  securities in
foreign  currency amounts is expressed in U.S. dollars at the closing daily rate
of exchange.  The  identified  cost of the  portfolio  holdings is translated at
approximate  rates  prevailing  when  acquired.  Income and expense  amounts are
translated at approximate  rates  prevailing  when received or paid,  with daily
accruals of such amounts reported at approximate rates prevailing at the date of
valuation.

Since the carrying  amount of the foreign  securities  of the fund is determined
based on the exchange rate and market  values at the close of the period,  it is
not practicable to isolate that portion of the results of operations  arising as
a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations  arising
from changes in the market prices of securities during the period.

The Growth  Funds record  investment  transactions  generally  one day after the
trade date,  except for short-term  investment  transactions  which are recorded
generally  on the  trade  date.  The  identified  cost  basis  has been  used in
determining  the net  realized  gain or loss from  investment  transactions  and
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.  The Growth Funds record
dividend  income on the  ex-dividend  date,  except dividend income from foreign
securities whereby the ex-dividend date has passed;  such dividends are recorded
as soon as the Growth  Funds are  informed  of the  ex-dividend  date.  Interest
income is recognized on an accrual basis.

Dividends and  distributions  to  shareholders  are recorded on the  ex-dividend
date.

Dividends and  distributions to shareholders  from net investment income and net
realized gain from investments and foreign  currency  transactions is determined
in  accordance  with  federal  income tax  regulations,  which may  differ  from
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  To  the  extent  these  "book/tax"
differences  are  permanent  in nature  (i.e.  that they  result from other than
timing of recognition - "temporary"),  such amounts are reclassified  within the
capital  accounts  based  on  their  federal  tax-basis   treatment;   temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Reclassifications made for the year
ended October 31, 1995 were not material.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 -- Federal Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes is considered  necessary because each fund
is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
and intends to  distribute  each year  substantially  all of its net  investment
income and realized capital gains to  shareholders.  The cost of investments for
federal  income tax  reporting  purposes is  approximately  the same as that for
financial reporting purposes.

Note 3 -- Management Agreement and Transactions With Affiliates

The Growth Funds have agreed to pay investment  advisory and management  fees to
Princor  Management  Corporation  (wholly  owned by Princor  Financial  Services
Corporation,  a subsidiary  of Principal  Mutual Life  Insurance  Company)  (the
"Manager")  computed at an annual  percentage  rate of each fund's average daily
net assets. The annual rate used in this calculation for Princor Blue Chip Fund,
Inc.,  Princor Capital  Accumulation Fund, Inc. and Princor Growth Fund, Inc. is
 .50% of the first $100 million of each fund's average daily net assets,  .45% of
the next $100 million of the fund's  average daily net assets,  .40% of the next
$100  million of the fund's  average  daily net assets and .35% of the next $100
million of the fund's average daily net assets. With respect to Princor Balanced
Fund,  Inc.  the  annual  rate is .60% of the first  $100  million of the fund's
average daily net assets.  With respect to Princor  Emerging Growth Fund,  Inc.,
the annual rate is .65% of the first $100  million of the fund's  average  daily
net assets, .60% of the next $100 million of the fund's average daily net assets
and .55% of the next $100 million of the fund's  average  daily net  assets.With
respect to Princor World Fund,  Inc.,  the annual rate is .75% of the first $100
million of the fund's average daily net assets and .70% of the next $100 million
of the fund's  average  daily net assets.  The Growth Funds also  reimburse  the
Manager  for  transfer  and  administrative  services,  including  the  cost  of
accounting, data processing, supplies and other services rendered.

The Manager has agreed to reimburse  the Growth  Funds  annually for their total
expenses  (excluding  brokerage  commissions,  interest  and taxes) in excess of
limits prescribed by any state in which the Growth Funds' shares are offered for
sale  (currently 2 1/2% of the first $30 million of each fund's  average  annual
net assets,  2% of the next $70 million of such assets and 1 1/2% of such assets
in excess thereof).

Princor  Financial  Services  Corporation,  as principal  underwriter,  receives
proceeds  of any CDSC on  certain  Class A and  Class B share  redemptions.  The
charge is based on declining  rates,  which begin at .75% for Class A shares and
4.00%  for  Class B shares  of the  Growth  Funds.  Princor  Financial  Services
Corporation  also  retains  sales  charges  on sales of Class A shares  based on
declining rates which begin at 4.75% of the offering price. The aggregate amount
of these charges retained,  by fund, for the period ended April 30, 1996 were as
follows:
                                       Class A      Class B

The Growth Funds bear  distribution and shareholder  servicing fees with respect
to Class A shares computed at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily
net assets attributable to Class A shares of each fund. Effective December 1994,
each of the Growth  Funds  adopted a  distribution  plan with respect to Class B
shares that provides for distribution and shareholder servicing fees computed at
an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the average  daily net assets  attributable  to
Class B shares of each fund.  Effective  February 1996, each of the Growth Funds
adopted a  distribution  plan with  respect to Class R shares that  provides for
distribution and shareholder  servicing fees computed at an annual rate of up to
 .75% of the  average  daily net  assets  attributable  to Class R shares of each
Fund.  Distribution and shareholder servicing fees are paid to Princor Financial
Services Corporation;  a portion of the fees are subsequently remitted to retail
dealers.  Pursuant to the distribution agreements,  fees unused by the principal
underwriter at the end of the fiscal year are returned to the Growth Funds.

Note 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

Princor Bond Fund,  Inc.,  Princor  Government  Securities  Income  Fund,  Inc.,
Princor High Yield Fund,  Inc.,  Princor Limited Term Bond Fund,  Inc.,  Princor
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Inc. and Princor Utilities Fund, Inc. (the "Income Funds")
are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
diversified  management  investment  companies  and  operate in the mutual  fund
industry.

On February  13,  1996,  the initial  purchase  of  1,000,000  shares of Class A
Capital  Stock of Princor  Limited  Term Bond Fund,  Inc.  was made by Principal
Mutual Life Insurance Company (see Note 3).

On February 27, 1996, the initial  purchase of Class B shares of Princor Limited
Term Bond Fund,  Inc. was made by Princor  Management  Corporation;  the initial
purchases  of Class B shares of the other  funds were made on  December  5, 1994
(see  Note  3).  All  shares  outstanding  prior  to the  initial  Class B share
purchases have been classified as Class A shares.  Effective  February 29, 1996,
Princor  Limited  Term Bond  Fund,  Inc.  began  offering  Class B shares to the
public;  the effective date of the other funds was December 9, 1994. On February
27, 1996,  the initial  purchases of Class R shares of the Income Funds  (except
for  Princor  Tax-Exempt  Bond  Fund,  Inc.)  were  made by  Princor  Management
Corporation (see Note 3). Effective  February 29, 1996, the funds began offering
Class R shares to eligible purchasers.

Class A  shares  generally  are  sold  with an  initial  sales  charge  based on
declining  rates and certain  purchases may be subject to a contingent  deferred
sales charge ("CDSC").  Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge,
but are subject to a declining CDSC on certain  redemptions  redeemed within six
years of purchase.  Class R shares are sold without an initial  sales charge and
are not  subject  to a CDSC.  Class B shares  and  Class R shares  bear a higher
ongoing  distribution  fee than  Class A  shares.  Class B shares  automatically
convert into Class A shares,  based on relative net asset value (without a sales
charge)  after seven years.  Class R shares  automatically  convert into Class A
shares,  based on relative net asset value  (without a sales  charge) after four
years.  All  classes of shares  for each fund  represent  interests  in the same
portfolio of investments,  and will vote together as a single class except where
otherwise  required by law or as  determined by the Fund's  respective  Board of
Directors.  In addition,  the Board of  Directors of each fund declare  separate
dividends on each class of shares.

The Income Funds allocate daily all income,  expenses (other than class-specific
expenses),  and realized and unrealized  gains or losses to each class of shares
based upon the relative  proportion of the value of shares  outstanding  of each
class.  Class-specific  expenses,  which include  distribution  and  shareholder
servicing  fees and any other items  specifically  attributable  to a particular
class, are charged directly to such class.

The Income  Funds  value  securities  for which  market  quotations  are readily
available at market  value,  which is  determined  using the last  reported sale
price or, if no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities
traded  over-the-counter,  the last  reported bid price.  When  reliable  market
quotations  are not considered to be readily  available,  which may be the case,
for example,  with respect to certain debt securities and preferred stocks,  the
investments  are valued by using market  quotations,  prices  provided by market
makers or estimates of market values  obtained from yield data and other factors
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with  procedures  established  in good faith by each fund's Board of  Directors.
Securities with remaining  maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market.

The Income  Funds record  investment  transactions  generally  one day after the
trade date,  except for short-term  investment  transactions  which are recorded
generally  on the  trade  date.  The  identified  cost  basis  has been  used in
determining  the net  realized  gain or loss from  investment  transactions  and
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Dividends are taken into
income on an accrual  basis as of the  ex-dividend  date and interest  income is
recognized on an accrual basis.

Dividends and  distributions  to  shareholders  are recorded on the  ex-dividend
date.

Dividends and  distributions to shareholders  from net investment income and net
realized gain from  investments is determined in accordance  with federal income
tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
To the extent these  "book/tax"  differences  are permanent in nature (i.e. that
they result from other than timing of recognition -  "temporary"),  such amounts
are reclassified  within the capital  accounts based on their federal  tax-basis
treatment;    temporary    differences   do   not   require    reclassification.
Reclassifications made for the year ended October 31, 1995 were not material.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Note 2 -- Federal Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes is considered  necessary because each fund
is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
and intends to  distribute  each year  substantially  all of its net  investment
income and realized capital gains to  shareholders.  The cost of investments for
federal  income tax  reporting  purposes is  approximately  the same as that for
financial reporting purposes.

Note 3 -- Management Agreement and Transactions With Affiliates

The Income Funds have agreed to pay investment  advisory and management  fees to
Princor  Management  Corporation  (wholly  owned by Princor  Financial  Services
Corporation,  a subsidiary  of Principal  Mutual Life  Insurance  Company)  (the
"Manager")  computed at an annual  percentage  rate of each fund's average daily
net assets.  With the  exception  of Princor  High Yield Fund,  Inc. and Princor
Utilities  Fund,  Inc., the annual rate used in this  calculation is .50% of the
first $100  million of each fund's  average  daily net assets,  .45% of the next
$100 million of each fund's  average  daily net assets and .40% of the next $100
million of each fund's  average  daily net assets.  With respect to Princor High
Yield Fund, Inc. and Princor  Utilities  Fund,  Inc., the annual rate is .60% of
the first $100 million of the fund's average daily net assets.  The Income Funds
also reimburse the Manager for transfer and administrative  services,  including
the cost of accounting, data processing, supplies and other services rendered.

The Manager has agreed to reimburse  the Income  Funds  annually for their total
expenses  (excluding  brokerage  commissions,  interest  and taxes) in excess of
limits prescribed by any state in which the Income Funds' shares are offered for
sale  (currently 2 1/2% of the first $30 million of each fund's  average  annual
net assets,  2% of the next $70 million of such assets and 1 1/2% of such assets
in excess thereof).

The  Manager  voluntarily  waives a  portion  of its fee for some of the  Income
Funds.  The waivers are in amounts that maintain  total  operating  expenses for
each fund within  certain  limits.  The limits are  expressed as a percentage of
average net assets  attributable to each class on an annualized basis during the
reporting  period.  The amounts  waived and the operating  expense limits are as
follows:

                                      Amount
                                      Waived

   was 1.00% and 1.75% for Class A and Class B shares, respectively. The Manager
   discontinued the expense waiver effective February 29, 1996.

Princor  Financial  Services  Corporation,  as principal  underwriter,  receives
proceeds  of any CDSC on  certain  Class A and  Class B share  redemptions.  The
charge is based on declining  rates,  which begin at .75% for Class A shares and
4.00% for Class B shares  (.25% and 1.25% for  Princor  Limited  Term Bond Fund,
respectively) of the Income Funds.  Princor Financial Services  Corporation also
retains sales charges on sales of Class A shares based on declining  rates which
begin at 4.75% of the offering price (1.50% for Princor  Limited Term Bond Fund,
Inc.). The aggregate amount of these charges  retained,  by fund, for the period
ended April 30, 1996 were as follows:

                                           Class A         Class B

Princor Government  Securities Income Fund, Inc. may trade portfolio  securities
on a  "to-be-announced"  (TBA) basis. In a TBA transaction,  the fund commits to
purchase or sell  securities for which all specific  information is not known at
the time of the trade. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until
they are delivered to the fund, normally 15 to 30 days later. These transactions
are subject to market  fluctuations and their current value is determined in the
same  manner as for  other  portfolio  securities.  As of April  30,  1996,  TBA
purchase commitments involved securities with a face amount of $3,000,000,  cost
of $2,738,125  and market value of  $2,736,040.  Princor  Government  Securities
Income Fund, Inc. has set aside investment securities and other assets in excess
of the commitments to serve as collateral.

Note 6 -- Line of Credit

The Income Funds have an unsecured  line of credit with a bank which allows each
fund to borrow up to  $500,000.  Borrowings  are made solely to  facilitate  the
handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements.  Interest
is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings,  at a rate equal to the bank's
Fed Funds Unsecured Rate plus 100 basis points.  Additionally,  a commitment fee
is  charged  at the  annual  rate of .25% on the  unused  portion of the line of
credit. At April 30, 1996, the Income Funds had no outstanding  borrowings under
the line of credit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Princor Cash Management Fund, Inc.
Princor Tax-Exempt Cash Management Fund, Inc.

Note 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

Princor Cash Management Fund, Inc. and Princor  Tax-Exempt Cash Management Fund,
Inc. (the "Money Market Funds") are registered under the Investment  Company Act
of 1940, as amended, as open-end diversified management investment companies and
operate in the mutual fund industry.

On December 8, 1994, the initial purchases of Class B shares of the Money Market
Funds  were made by  Princor  Management  Corporation  (see Note 3).  All shares
outstanding prior to the initial Class B share purchases have been classified as
Class A shares.  Effective  December 9, 1994,  the Money Market Funds also began
offering  Class B shares  to the  public.  Class B shares  are sold  without  an
initial sales charge, but bear a higher ongoing distribution fee and are subject
to a  declining  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  ("CDSC") of up to 4.00% on
certain  redemptions  redeemed  within  six  years of  purchase.  Class B shares
automatically  convert  into Class A shares,  based on relative  net asset value
(without a sales charge) after seven years.

On February  27,  1996,  the initial  purchase of Class R shares of Princor Cash
Management Fund, Inc. was made by Princor  Management  Corporation (see Note 3).
Effective  February 29, 1996,  Princor Cash Management Fund, Inc. began offering
Class R shares  to  eligible  purchasers.  Class R shares  are sold  without  an
initial  sales  charge  or  a  CDSC.  Class  R  shares  bear  a  higher  ongoing
distribution fee than Class A shares.  Class R shares  automatically  convert to
Class A shares, based on relative net asset value (without a sales charge) after
four years.

All classes of shares for each fund represent interests in the same portfolio of
investments,  and will vote  together as a single class  except where  otherwise
required by law or as determined by the Fund's  respective  Boards of Directors.
In addition,  the Board of Directors of each fund declare separate  dividends on
each class of shares.

The Money Market Funds allocate all income,  expenses (other than class-specific
expenses), and realized gains or losses daily to each class of shares based upon
the  relative  proportion  of the number of traded  shares  outstanding  of each
class.  Class-specific  expenses,  which include  distribution  and  shareholder
servicing  fees and any other items  specifically  attributable  to a particular
class, are charged directly to such class.

The  Money  Market  Funds  value  their  securities  at  amortized  cost,  which
approximates  market.  Under the amortized cost method,  a security is valued by
applying a constant  yield to maturity of the  difference  between the principal
amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the fund.

The Money  Market Funds record  investment  transactions  generally on the trade
date.  The identified  cost basis has been used in determining  the net realized
gain or loss from investment transactions. Dividends are taken into income on an
accrual basis as of the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an
accrual basis.

The Money Market Funds declare all net investment  income and any realized gains
and losses from  investment  transactions  as dividends daily to shareholders of
record as of that day.

Dividends and  distributions to shareholders  from net investment income and net
realized gain from  investments is determined in accordance  with federal income
tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
To the extent these  "book/tax"  differences  are permanent in nature (i.e. that
they result from other than timing of recognition -  "temporary"),  such amounts
are reclassified  within the capital  accounts based on their federal  tax-basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.  There were no
reclassifications made for the year ended October 31, 1995.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The  Money  Market  Fund's  investments  are with  various  issuers  in  various
industries.   The   Schedules  of   Investments   contained   herein   summarize
concentration of credit risk by issuer and industry.

Note 2 -- Federal Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes is considered  necessary because each fund
is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
and intends to  distribute  each year  substantially  all of its net  investment
income and realized capital gains to  shareholders.  The cost of investments for
federal  income tax  reporting  purposes is  approximately  the same as that for
financial reporting purposes.


Note 3 -- Management Agreement and Transactions With Affiliates

The Money Market  Funds have agreed to pay  investment  advisory and  management
fees to  Princor  Management  Corporation  (wholly  owned by  Princor  Financial
Services  Corporation,  a subsidiary of Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company)
(the  "Manager")  computed at an annual  percentage  rate of each fund's average
daily net assets.  The annual rate used in this calculation is .50% of the first
$100  million of each fund's  average  daily net  assets,  .45% of the next $100
million of each fund's  average daily net assets,  .40% of the next $100 million
of each fund's  average daily net assets,  .35% of the next $100 million of each
fund's average daily net assets and .30% of each fund's average daily net assets
over $400  million.  The Money  Market  Funds also  reimburse  the  Manager  for
transfer and  administrative  services,  including the cost of accounting,  data
processing, supplies and other services rendered.

The Manager has agreed to reimburse  the Money  Market Funds  annually for their
total expenses (excluding brokerage  commissions,  interest and taxes) in excess
of limits  prescribed  by any state in which the Money Market  Funds' shares are
offered  for sale  (currently  2 1/2% of the first $30  million  of each  fund's
average annual net assets,  2% of the next $70 million of such assets and 1 1/2%
of such assets in excess thereof).

The  Manager  voluntarily  waives  a  portion  of its fee for the  Princor  Cash
Management  Fund, Inc. and Princor  Tax-Exempt  Cash  Management  Fund, Inc. The
waivers are in amounts  that  maintain  total  operating  expenses for each fund
within certain  limits.  The limits are expressed as a percentage of average net
assets  attributable  to each class on an annualized  basis during the reporting
period. The amounts waived and the operating expense limits are as follows:

                                  Amount

(a)  For the period  November 1, 1994 through  February  28,  1995,  the expense
     limits were .70% and 1.70% for Class A and Class B shares, respectively.

Princor  Financial  Services  Corporation,  as principal  underwriter,  receives
proceeds  of any CDSC on  certain  Class A and  Class B share  redemptions.  The
charge is based on declining  rates,  which begin at .75% for Class A shares and
4.00% for Class B shares of the Funds.

No  brokerage  commissions  were paid by the Money  Market  Funds to  affiliated
broker dealers during the period.

Effective  December 1994,  each of the Money Market Funds adopted a distribution
plan  with  respect  to  Class B  shares  that  provides  for  distribution  and
shareholder  servicing  fees  computed  at an annual  rate of up to 1.00% of the
average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares of each fund.  Effective
February 1996,  Princor Cash Management Fund, Inc.,  adopted a distribution plan
with respect to Class R shares that provides for  distribution  and  shareholder
servicing fees computed at an annual rate of up to .75% of the average daily net
assets attributable to Class R shares of the fund.  Distribution and shareholder
servicing fees are paid to Princor Financial Services Corporation;  a portion of
the  fees  are  subsequently  remitted  to  retail  dealers.   Pursuant  to  the
distribution agreements,  fees unused by the principal underwriter at the end of
the  fiscal  year  are  returned  to  the  Money  Market  Funds.  There  are  no
distribution or shareholder servicing fees with respect to Class A shares.

At April 30, 1996,  Principal  Mutual Life Insurance  Company,  subsidiaries  of
Principal  Mutual Life Insurance  Company,  benefit plans sponsored on behalf of
Principal  Mutual Life Insurance  Company and several joint ventures (in each of
which a subsidiary of Principal Mutual Life Insurance  Company is a participant)

Note 5 -- Line of Credit

The Money Market Funds have an unsecured line of credit with a bank which allows
each fund to borrow up to $500,000. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the
handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements.  Interest
is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings,  at a rate equal to the bank's
Fed Funds Unsecured Rate plus 100 basis points.  Additionally,  a commitment fee
is  charged  at the  annual  rate of .25% on the  unused  portion of the line of
credit. At April 30, 1996, the Money Market Funds had no outstanding  borrowings
under the line of credit.
