THE DOW LEADS THE WORLD

[PHOTO]
NOEL P. RAHN
Chairman

The U.S. stock market continues to offer pleasant surprises, with the Dow Jones
Industrial Average up more than 60% during the past two years--breaking through
7000 on February 13 and 8000 on July 16. As we move through 1997, most of the
conditions which led to that runup are still intact: low inflation, relatively
low interest rates, moderate economic growth and strong corporate productivity.

In contrast, global stock markets continue to lag the United States, as Japan's
economy continues to struggle and Europe grapples with the upcoming unification
of its currency. Throughout much of the 1990s, the U.S. stock market has
outperformed international markets. However, the reverse was generally true in
the 1980s. We continue to see international markets as an excellent
diversification strategy.

For much of 1996, the U.S. bond market endured a bumpy ride, as interest rates
rose steadily, ignited by a spring quarter that was one of the strongest
economic periods in years. Indeed, for much of the spring and summer, the
benchmark 30-year Treasury bond traded at about 7% as investors feared inflation
and action by the Federal Reserve Board to slow the economy. However, by the
fall, the economy slowed down and the Fed chose not to tighten credit. Even when
the economy rebounded in the fourth quarter, the Fed didn't act because there
was still no sign of inflation.

The Fed, however, is a vigilant observer of the economy and is very sensitive to
potential inflation. Since the economy is at full employment, it wouldn't be
surprising to see an uptick in inflation in the months ahead. This could cause
interest rates to rise and put the brakes on the stock and bond markets.

If you're a long-term investor, then you should be concerned that you've
properly diversified your portfolio among stocks and bonds, perhaps increasing
your focus on bonds as you approach retirement and require income. If you're a
young investor just starting your investment program, international equities are
a good place to be for growth. Wherever you are in life, you should make sure
that your investment portfolio generally reflects your long-term investment
goals for 1997 and beyond.
                          
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

A summary of economic outlook as provided by Larry Hill, IAI's Chief Fixed
Income Officer, is listed below.

The risk in the second half of the year is biased toward higher growth and an
upturn in inflation. First half economic results were erratic, with a strong
quarter followed by a weak quarter. Neither reflects a true picture of the
underlying expansion. Instead the pattern reflects statistically choppy
spending. Consumer spending in the first half was influenced by seasonality
(warmer winter, cooler spring), early tax refunds, and a growing trend toward
employee bonuses/stock options (paid in lump sums in the first months of the
year) instead of salary increases (paid in smaller monthly increments throughout
the year). These conditions will not be repeated in the second half of the year.
A third quarter rebound to about 3% real growth should follow the anemic second
quarter results.

Our concern is that the apparent pause in the second quarter has done little to
relieve rising economic pressures. Labor markets are operating at full capacity.
In fact, we suspect businesses are beginning to miss opportunities because they
are unable to find experienced help. Capacity utilization rates also reflect a
lack of excess capacity. The U.S. has been able to use excess capacity from
overseas to meet demand. However, growth now appears to be on the rise in other
G7 countries. The results of recent elections in the U.K. and France have a
clear pro-growth bias. Fiscal austerity and low inflation have less appeal to
voters when unemployment rates are persistently high. A coordinated global
expansion will help lift our exports but will remove some of the price
competition that has helped restrain domestic inflation.

Monetary liquidity is ample to finance both economic growth and modest price
increases. Domestically, broad money growth is expanding at a rate of about 7%.
Globally, U.S. dollar-based credit has been growing at a double-digit rate for
the last year. However, the Fed is likely to tolerate broad money growth and
tight economic capacity until inflation begins to accelerate.

Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews which follow this letter for a detailed
perspective on the Funds' performance and our strategy going forward. We
appreciate your continued trust and confidence in IAI. If there is any way we

WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?

The IAI Bond Fund's objective is to provide a high level of current income
consistent with preservation of capital. This objective is pursued by investing
in a diversified portfolio of high quality bonds. The Fund invests primarily in
investment-grade bonds and other debt securities of similar high quality. The
Fund invests in a variety of maturities and sectors which are varied depending
on relative values in the marketplace at a given point in time.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

During the first quarter of 1997, interest rates rose in each month, resulting
in negative returns for most longer-term bond indexes. However, the IAI Bond
Fund had a 0.02% total return, beating its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index that fell (0.56)%. For the past six months, the Fund had a
1.18% total return while the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index had a 0.94%
total return.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FUND?

The Fund's interest rate exposure was reduced in the six-month period ending in
May. However, the Fund is still positioned to benefit from lower interest rates
and a flatter yield curve. On a sector basis, corporates are overweighted and a
modest amount of preferred stock and high yield bonds are being used to enhance
returns. Non-dollar exposure, while remaining at about the same weighting (6%)
for the last six months, was moved into German and Australian bonds which are
alternatives to U.S. issues.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?

Non-U.S. Treasury sectors outperformed their U.S. Treasury counterparts in the
most recent six-month period as bond investors searched for ways to add yield to
their portfolios. The Fund benefited from this trend because of the overweight
positions in non-Treasury sectors. The Fund also benefited from an improved
interest rate backdrop. A second quarter economic pause, persistently low
inflation, strong improvement in the budget deficit and the lack of Fed
tightening all contributed to a better tone in the bond market.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Near-term market trends still favor bonds. However, market risks increase with
the age of the economic expansion. Cyclically, the lack of excess capacity and
an accommodative monetary policy point toward rising inflationary pressures.
Yet, current pricing power is being constrained by the secular forces of foreign
competition and business restructuring. Eventually, the cyclical forces will
drive prices and interest rates higher. Until signs of this shift emerge, the
Fund will continue to be positioned for a favorable market environment.

WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?

The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a high level of current income with
preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. Government
securities with dollar-weighted average maturity of seven years or less.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

During the first quarter of 1997, interest rates rose in each month, resulting
in negative returns. The IAI Government Fund declined (0.47)% for the first
quarter, while its benchmark, the Salomon Brothers Intermediate
Treasury/Agency/Mortgage-Backed Index, was flat at 0.07%. For the past six
months, the Fund had a 0.38% total return while the Salomon Brothers
Intermediate Treasury/Agency/Mortgage-Backed Index had a 1.70% total return.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FUND?

During the quarter, the Fund reduced its interest rate exposure by increasing
short-term holdings. In addition, the structure of mortgage-backed holdings was
modified to take advantage of improved return opportunities in the CMO part of
the market.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?

Anxiety over accelerating economic activity and, in particular, the strength of
the labor market fueled renewed concerns about inflationary pressures in the
first quarter. The unemployment rate fell to 5.2%, despite a record high 67.3%
of the population participating in the labor force. In addition, the March
employment data showed wage inflation running at a 4.0% year over year rate, the
highest in more than seven years. The tight labor market and rising wage
pressures suggest that labor costs will grow at an accelerating pace. Since
labor costs account for nearly two-thirds of total production cost of
manufactured goods, more rapidly escalating labor costs will ultimately lead to
higher consumer prices. As a result of these concerns, the Fed increased the Fed
Funds rate to 5.5% at its March 25th meeting.

The bond market initially sold off in anticipation of the Fed's move. However,
price support developed early in the second quarter as signs of an economic
slowdown began to remove pressure for additional Fed action. The price swings
from negative to positive presented a difficult market for investors, despite
the positive market tone that developed late in the period.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

While economic and labor capacity is tight, many indicators continue to point
toward a benign environment for bonds. A firm dollar has allowed us to import
excess capacity from overseas. Moreover, the economic pace has slowed, inflation
is decelerating, the budget deficit has improved dramatically and the Fed is
presently on hold. Despite this favorable background, market risks are rising as
the expansion ages. Money growth is expanding, providing ample liquidity to
finance economic growth and price increases. Job growth, rising stock prices and
high consumer confidence provide a strong foundation for increased consumption.
These cyclical forces will eventually push inflation and interest rates higher.
Yet until signs of this cyclical shift emerge, the Fund will remain positioned
for favorable near-term trends.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       IAI BOND FUND, IAI GOVERNMENT FUND

                                  MAY 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The IAI Mutual Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as
amended) as diversified, open-end management investment companies, or series
thereof. IAI Bond Fund (Bond Fund) is a separate portfolio of IAI Investment
Funds I, Inc. IAI Government Fund (Government Fund) is a separate portfolio of
IAI Investment Funds VI, Inc. The Bond Fund's primary objective is to provide a
high level of current income consistent with capital preservation, through
investments in primarily investment grade bonds and other debt securities of
similar high quality. The Government Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a
high level of current income and with preservation of capital by investing
primarily in U.S. Government securities. This report covers only Bond Fund and
Government Fund (the Funds).

Significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are summarized below:

SECURITY VALUATION
Investments in securities traded on national or international securities
exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of each
business day. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the
last reported sales price or if the last sales price is not available, the last
reported bid price.

Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined
in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Directors.

Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less from the date of
initial acquisition are valued at amortized cost. Those with maturities greater
than 60 days from the date of initial acquisition are marked-to-market on a
daily basis.

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS

Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased by the Funds on a
forward commitment or when-issued basis may occur a month or more after the
transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market
fluctuations and the Funds maintain, in segregated accounts with their
custodian, assets with a market value equal to the amount of their purchase
commitments.

The Funds may enter into transactions to sell their purchase commitments to
third parties at the current market values and concurrently acquire other
purchase commitments for similar securities at later dates, commonly referred to
as a "dollar-roll." As an inducement for the Funds to "rollover" their purchase
commitments, the Funds receive negotiated fees. For the period ended May 31,
1997, the Funds did not enter into any dollar-roll transactions.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS

In order to increase exposure to and hedge against changes in the market, the
Funds may buy and sell futures contracts and options. The risks of entering into
futures and option contracts include the possibility that changes in the value
of these contracts may not correlate with changes in the underlying security.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price of the exchange on which
they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to
deposit either cash or securities, representing the initial margin, equal to a
certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent changes in the value of the
contract, or variation margin, are recorded daily as unrealized gains or losses.
Variation margin is paid or received in cash daily by the Fund. The Fund
realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. 

Options traded on an exchange are valued using the last sale price, and those
traded over-the-counter are valued using dealer-supplied valuations, resulting
in unrealized appreciation or depreciation being recorded. The Fund will realize
a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an
option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the
purchase cost for a written put option or the cost of a security for a purchased
put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS 

Bond Fund and Government Fund may invest in foreign securities. The market value
of securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the closing rate of exchange. Purchases
and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate
on the transaction date and are recorded in realized and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on foreign currency transactions. Exchange gains (losses) may
also be realized between the trade and settlement dates on security and foreign
currency contract transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the result of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for
operational purposes and to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations.
The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Funds and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates from an
independent pricing service. The Funds are subject to the credit risk that the
other party will not complete the obligations of the contract.

FEDERAL TAXES

Since it is each Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
taxable income to shareholders, no provision for income taxes is required. In
order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Funds are required
to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized
gains on a calendar year basis.

Net investment income and net realized gains may differ for financial statement
and tax purposes primarily because of recognition of certain foreign currency
gains and losses as ordinary income and the deferral of "wash sale" losses for
tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net
investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate
characterization for tax purposes.

For federal income tax purposes, the Bond Fund and Government Fund have capital
loss carryovers of approximately $4,540,000, and $1,910,000, respectively at
November 30, 1996 which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire
in 2002 and 2004, respectively. It is unlikely the Board of Directors will
authorize a distribution of any net realized gains until the available capital
loss carryovers are offset or expire.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

The Funds record security transactions on trade date, the date the securities
are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income, including level yield amortization of discount for the Funds,
are accrued daily. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of
identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. Distributions
from net investment income are made monthly. Capital gains, if any, are
primarily distributed at the end of the calendar year. Additional capital gains
distributions as needed to comply with federal tax regulations are distributed
during the year.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

[2]   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

For purposes of obtaining certain types of insurance coverage for the Funds and
their officers and directors, the Funds are policyholders in an
industry-sponsored mutual insurance company (the Company). The Funds are
committed to make capital contributions, if requested by the Company.

Bond Fund and Government Fund have available lines of credit of $14,993,103 and
$12,000,000, respectively, with a bank at the prime interest rate. To the extent
funds are drawn against the line, securities are held in a segregated account.
No compensating balances or commitment fees are required under the lines of
credit. Advances under the line of credit totalled $6,897 for the Bond Fund at
May 31, 1997. There were no borrowings outstanding at May 31, 1997 for the
Government Fund.

[3]   FEES AND EXPENSES

Under terms of each Fund's Management Agreement, Investment Advisers, Inc.
(Advisers) is required to pay for all expenses of each Fund, except certain
costs (primarily those incurred in the purchase and sale of assets, taxes,
interest and extraordinary expenses), in return for each Fund paying an all
inclusive management fee (unified fee) to Advisers. This fee is equal to an
annual rate of 1.10% declining to 1.00% of average daily net assets and is paid
monthly. The Management Agreements further provide that Advisers will reimburse
the Funds for the fees and expenses it pays to Directors who are not "interested
persons" of the Funds or reduce its fee by an equivalent amount.

[4] CAPITAL STOCK 

The Funds each have authorized 10 billion shares of $.01 par value stock.
Transactions in shares of capital stock during the periods ended May 31, 1997
and November 30, 1996, were as follows:
