*  The portfolio maximizes expected returns by using a strategy of shifting
   maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the
   strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell
   strategies and identifies the optimal maturity range for the highest expected
   returns. Issues which meet maturity and quality level are further evaluated
   for business risk. Maturities are shifted if sufficient premiums can be
   documented.


*  This portfolio's returns in fiscal 1996 reflected the performance of its 
   strategy.



Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

   highest expected returns. Maturities are shifted only if sufficient premiums
   warrant it. Country weighting is increased or reduced based on expected
   returns. The portfolio may be concentrated in the U.S. if international
   curves are inverted.

                     DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC. 

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

A. ORGANIZATION: 

   At November 30, 1996, DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") 
consisted of twenty nine portfolios: The U.S. 9-10 Small Company Portfolio, 
The U.S. 6-10 Small Company Portfolio, The U.S. Large Company Portfolio, The 
Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, 
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, The DFA/AEW Real Estate Securities 
Portfolio, The Japanese Small Company Portfolio, The Pacific Rim Small 
Company Portfolio, The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio, The 
Continental Small Company Portfolio, The Emerging Markets Portfolio, The 
RWB/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio, The International Small 
Company Portfolio, The Large Cap International Portfolio, The DFA 
International Small Cap Value Portfolio, The DFA Intermediate Government 
Fixed Income Portfolio, The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio, The DFA 
Two-Year Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio, The DFA Two-Year Government 
Portfolio, The DFA Five-Year Government Portfolio, The DFA Two-Year Global 
Fixed Income Portfolio, The DFA Global Fixed Income Portfolio (the 
"Portfolios") VA Small Value Portfolio, VA Large Value Portfolio, VA 
International Value Portfolio, VA International Small Portfolio, VA 
Short-Term Fixed Portfolio and VA Global Bond Portfolio (the "VA 
Portfolios"). At November 30, 1996, The DFA Two Year Corporate Fixed Income 
Portfolio and The DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio had not yet commenced 
operations. These financial statements related solely to the VA Portfolios. 

   On December 20, 1995, the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Group Inc. 
approved a 900% stock dividend under Maryland Corporate Law which is treated 
as a 10 for 1 stock split for financial reporting purposes for VA Short-Term 
Fixed Portfolio and VA Global Bond Portfolio. The record date of the stock 
dividend was January 1, 1996, and the ex-date and payable dates were January 
2, 1996. This was a tax-free event to the shareholders of these portfolios. 
All share and per share data as of and for the period ended November 30, 1995 
have been restated to reflect the stock dividend. 

B.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

   The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such 
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its 
financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in 
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

   1.  Security Valuation:  Securities held by VA Small Value Portfolio and 
VA Large Value Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") which are listed 
on a securities exchange and for which market quotations are readily 
available are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day, or if there is 
no such reported sale, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked 
prices. Securities held by VA International Value Portfolio and VA 
International Small Portfolio (the "International Equity Portfolios") which 
are listed on a securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price. 
Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the 
security is primarily traded. 

   Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are 
valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities 
for which quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith at 
fair value using methods determined by the Board of Directors. 

   Securities held by VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio and VA Global Bond 
Portfolio are valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service 
when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market value of such 
securities. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are 
valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of 
Directors. 

   2.  Foreign Currency:  Securities, other assets and liabilities of the 
International Equity Portfolios and VA Global Bond Portfolio whose values are 
initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at 
the bid price of such currency against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major 
bank. Dividend and interest income and 

                                      34
<PAGE>

certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on 
their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in 
foreign currencies are marked to market daily based on daily exchange rates 
and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or 
disbursement. VA Global Bond Portfolio also enters into forward foreign 
currency contracts solely for the purpose of hedging against fluctuations in 
currency exchange rates. These contracts are also market to market daily 
based on daily exchange rates. 

   The International Equity Portfolios do not generally isolate the effect of 
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the 
market prices of securities whether realized or unrealized. However, VA 
Global Bond Portfolio does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign 
currency rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of 
foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income 
tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gains or 
loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. 

   Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net 
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, 
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on 
securities transactions, and the difference between amount of interest, 
dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the 
International Equity Portfolios and VA Global Bond Portfolio and the U.S. 
dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. 

   3.  Federal Income Taxes:   It is the VA Portfolios' intention to continue 
to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of their 
taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal taxes is required in 
the financial statements. 

   4.  Other:   Security transactions are accounted for on the date the 
securities are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains 
and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of specific 
securities sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are 
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual 
basis. Discount and premium on debt securities purchased are amortized over 
the lives of the respective securities. Expenses directly attributable to a 
VA Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses are allocated using 
methods determined by the Board of Directors. 

C.  INVESTMENT ADVISOR: 

   Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("the Advisor") provides investment 
advisory services to the VA Portfolios. For the year ended November 30, 1996, 
the VA Portfolios' advisory fees were computed daily and paid monthly to the 
Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of: 

VA Small Value Portfolio  ..............................      .50 of 1% 
VA Large Value Portfolio  ..............................      .25 of 1% 
VA International Value Portfolio  ......................      .40 of 1% 
VA International Small Portfolio  ......................      .50 of 1% 
VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio  .........................      .25 of 1% 
VA Global Bond Portfolio  ..............................      .25 of 1% 

   Certain officers of the VA Portfolios are also officers, directors and 
shareholders of the Advisor.

carryover for federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,500 which

F.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: 

   In accordance with the VA Portfolios' Investment Objectives and Policies, 
the VA Portfolios may invest in certain financial instruments which have 
off-balance sheet risk and concentrations of credit risk. These instruments 
and their significant corresponding risks are described below: 

   1.  Repurchase Agreements.  The VA Portfolios may purchase money market 
instruments subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed 
upon date and price. The seller will be required on a daily basis to maintain 
the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the 
repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned 
upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry 
system or with the Fund's custodian or a third party sub-custodian. All open 
repurchase agreements were entered into on November 29, 1996. 

                                      36

   2.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:  VA Global Bond Portfolio may 
enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse 
changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies. At 
November 30, 1996, VA Global Bond Portfolio had entered into the following 
contracts and the related net unrealized foreign exchange gain is reflected 
in the accompanying financial statements:

</TABLE>
   Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential 
inability of counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts and from 
unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. 
dollar. VA Global Bond Portfolio will enter into forward contracts only for 
hedging purposes. 

   3.  Foreign Market Risks:  Investments in foreign markets may involve 
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in 
the United States, including the possibility of future political and economic 
developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation 
of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less 
liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United 
States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund 
may be inhibited. 

G.   LINE OF CREDIT 

   In July, 1996, the VA Portfolios, together with other DFA-advised 
portfolios, entered into a $50 million unsecured line of credit with its 
domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow between 25% 
and 33 1/3 % of its net assets as determined by its investment policies, up 
to a maximum of $50 million per portfolio. Borrowings under the line are 
charged interest at the current overnight federal funds rate plus a variable 
rate determined at the date of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and 
not jointly liable for its particular advances under the line. There is no 
commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. There were no 
borrowings under the line of credit during the year ended November 30, 1996.

I.   SECURITIES LENDING 

   Loans of international securities are required at all times to be secured 
by collateral at least equal to 105% of the market value of the securities on 
loan. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to 
the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject 
to legal proceedings. In the event that the borrower fails to return loaned 
securities, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is 
insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and provided such 
collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending 
agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the VA Portfolios or, 
at the option of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The market 
value of securities on loan to brokers and the related collateral cash 
received at November 30, 1996 is as follows: 

                                          
                                           Value of             Value of

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS 

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF 
DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.: 


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of The DFA 
Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (comprising, respectively, VA Small Value, 
VA Large Value, VA International Value, VA International Small and VA 
Short-Term Fixed Portfolios) and the statement of assets and liabilities 
including the schedule of investments of the DFA Investment Dimensions Group 
Inc., VA Global Bond Portfolio as of November 30, 1996, and the related 
statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of 
changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods 
presented. 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. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. Our procedures included confirmation of 
investments owned as of November 30, 1996, by correspondence with the 
custodians and brokers. 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 
each of the aforementioned portfolios constituting the DFA Investment 
Dimensions Group Inc. as of November 30, 1996, and the results of their 
operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets and 
their financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.
