A Great Time to Diversify

The year ended March 31, 1996 was another excellent period for U.S. stocks.
Despite all the mixed signals, the economy has been behaving just right; not too
fast to bring back inflation, and not too slow to bring on a recession. Bonds
had a good year too, except for the very end when the economy seemed to
accelerate.

As we've seen so far in 1996, stocks and bonds can be volatile. That's
particularly important to remember when prices are high. One of the most
important investment principles is diversification--not putting all of your eggs
in one basket.

By investing in mutual funds, you have already taken a step toward
diversification. A typical mutual fund invests in dozens of securities, a much
more diversified portfolio than you can generally achieve on your own. But
another way to diversify is to broaden your investment horizon into areas that
have lagged but are beginning to awaken. One example: international funds.

Developed and developing markets throughout the world have not matched the U.S.
economy during the past year. But that's beginning to change. Since
international markets largely move independently of the United States, an
investment overseas is considered an excellent way to diversify a portfolio.
This is particularly true when our markets are nearing or achieving all-time
highs.

If investing internationally is not for you, then there are other ways to
diversify your portfolio. If you have mutual funds that invest in just one type
of investment objective, then you might want to consider broadening your
investment horizon. Of course, whether you focus on growth, income or a blend of
the two depends on your time horizon. If you're investing for a retirement
that's 30 years down the road, then you can afford to take more risk than if you
need the income from those investments right away.

Regardless of the time frame, the U.S. markets will continue to be impacted by
the performance of the economy, the outlook for inflation, and the level of
interest rates. Over the next six months, the presidential election will also
play a role. All of these events are truly unpredictable and uncontrollable by
the average investor. That makes investing a continuing challenge, and another
reason to stay diversified.

Economic Outlook

Larry Hill, IAI's Chief Fixed Income Officer, provides his economic outlook
below:

Volatile markets will continue in the months ahead because of the uncertainty
surrounding economic fundamentals. First quarter growth was surprisingly strong
considering the unusual weather patterns, a partial federal government shutdown
and the temporary strike at General Motors. Nevertheless, it is important to
remember that despite its surprising strength, the economy only expanded by 2.8%
which is still below the long-term average. Reported growth was also in line
with our expectations of a 2.5% expansion for all of 1996.

Inflation is becoming a consideration in our policy decisions. Investors have
been far too complacent about prospective price increases. Low inflation has
been with us for several years and the secular arguments weigh heavily in favor
of further price restraint. Yet, the US economy is gradually approaching the
late phase of the credit cycle and the foundation is being laid for a rising
price trend in the next year. In many firms, just-in-time delivery, downsizing,
and other new business practices have eliminated the extra cushion that was
present in past expansions, leaving the economy with little room to adjust to
new demand. Broad money supply is expanding again in the United States and has
reached its highest level since the late 1980s. With rising money growth and the
lack of cushion in the system even modest economic growth will likely produce
some cyclical inflation by year-end.

Politics in an election year are also a potential risk for the market and could
cause some price swings. However, fundamental economic forces ultimately drive
markets. For most of 1996 we expect to see a modest expansion of about 2.5% and
only a slight increase to a level of about 3% in the consumer price index. The
markets will be volatile, but the economic background remains favorable for
financial assets.

Please read the Fund Managers' Review which follows 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

Fund Objective

The IAI Growth and Income Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term
capital appreciation, with income as a secondary objective. It pursues its
objectives by investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks.
While dividends are a factor in stock selection, the dominant criteria is the
potential for long-term growth.

Fund Positioning for the
Past Year

The IAI Growth and Income Fund posted total returns of 4.79% during the first
quarter of 1996 and 21.51% during the past twelve months, while the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index was up 5.45% for the quarter and 32.14% for the year. The
Fund's slight underperformance during the quarter was due to an overweighting in
technology issues, which had a difficult quarter.

The overall theme of the IAI Growth and Income Fund is to search for companies
which can continue to show earnings gains in an environment of slower overall
profit growth. We believe that investors will reward such companies, because
their performance will increasingly stand out. At the same time, the IAI Growth
and Income Fund seeks companies that pay dividends, which serve to buffer the
portfolio against market downturns.

A leading category is the so-called "franchise" company, which has a premier
position in its respective market. Examples include Walt Disney in
entertainment, Gillette in personal care products, Motorola in
telecommunications and Procter & Gamble in packaged goods.

General Electric, a company with a market capitalization of more than $100
billion, aims to be number one in all of its businesses, whether that be
broadcasting, appliances or manufacturing. Despite its size, the company
continues to generate substantial earnings growth.

Another group which marches to its own drummer is the pharmaceutical industry.
Pfizer, R.P. Scherer and SmithKline Beecham have enough new products coming on
stream to sustain 10-12% earnings growth for many years.

We believe that Wal-Mart will continue to show strong earnings growth in the
years ahead, even though it is part of the out of favor retail industry. In
general, the retailing industry, particularly the apparel sector, has too much
capacity. However, we believe that Wal-Mart will benefit from the coming
consolidation in that industry.

Outlook

For several months, investors have expected the U.S. economy's sluggishness to
produce lower profit growth in 1996. However, recent data suggests that the
economy may have more zest in it than originally thought, and that corporate
profits may be stronger than expected. As a result, we expect some improvement
in the fortunes of cyclical stocks such as autos and equipment manufacturers.
The specter of inflation may cause a correction in the overall market, which is
why a portfolio that includes an income component should be a good strategy.

IAI Regional Fund

Fund Objective

The IAI Regional Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital
appreciation. It pursues its objective of long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of companies headquartered in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota and South
Dakota.

Fund Positioning for the Past Year

The IAI Regional Fund posted total returns of 3.76% during the first quarter of
1996 and 28.62% during the past twelve months. The IAI Regional 300 Index is a
market-cap weighted index created by IAI, consisting of the 300 largest
companies in the eight state region, ranked by market capitalization and was up
4.11% for the quarter and 28.80% for the twelve month period. In a strong
market, cash is a drag on performance, and the cash position in the portfolio
was the primary reason for the modest underperformance over the last twelve
months. However, the Fund's disciplined approach to analysis and valuation of
companies lends itself to selling individual stocks that are overvalued. In
fact, the past year has demonstrated that the stock selection process is working
very well in that excluding cash, the performance of the stocks in the portfolio
did much better than most major indices.

As for the Fund, the largest holding in the Fund continues to be MFS Communica-
tions, a company whose stock has recently advanced from the mid-$40s to the mid-
$60s. MFS is developing fiber-optic networks in all major U.S. cities and major
European financial centers. Fiber optics permits the simultaneous transmission
of voice, video and data transmission. We expect the company's cash flow to
begin to build as its current capital spending program is completed.

In agriculture, Deere has performed well, as concerns about an overhang of used
farm equipment abates. Another excellent agriculture performer in the Fund is
Lindsay Manufacturing, which sells irrigation equipment. Fertilizer, farm
equipment and seed companies stand to benefit as China increases its
agricultural imports, and the Regional Fund is well positioned in agriculture.

The rise in interest rates during the period had little impact on the Fund, due
to its under weighting in financial services. However, it is true that rising
interest rates puts pressure on all stocks to the extent that investors begin to
find fixed income securities more attractive than equities.

Outlook

It is hard to look into the future without looking back at the incredible
strength the market has shown over the past year. A general feeling that it is
due for a "correction" is becoming more prevalent. But it is important to temper
a cautious outlook with the recognition that the Regional Fund is a portfolio of
individual stocks that are owned for very specific business reasons. In the case
of each stock in the portfolio, the reasons for ownership are tied to the
specific business outlook of the Company. The Fund does not hold stocks because
the "stock market" is cheap or expensive. A stock is owned because the "bottom
up" fundamental analysis indicates that the stock price has an upside potential.
More important, the Fund does not change its valuation method to accommodate the
latest fad in the "stock market." As a result, the Regional Fund is a portfolio
of investments in companies, investments that are made based on a fundamental
understanding of each companies' business and purchased at a price that will
generate a solid return on investment for the shareholders of the Fund. On that
basis, we feel the outlook for our stocks is quite good.

                                 IAI Value Fund

IAI Value Fund

Fund Objective

The IAI Value Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital
appreciation. It pursues its objective of long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities believed by management to be
undervalued and which are considered to offer unusual opportunities for capital
growth.

Fund Positioning for the Past Year

The IAI Value Fund posted total returns of 6.79% during the first quarter of
1996 and 21.07% during the past twelve months. In contrast, the Value Line Index
was up 4.20% for the quarter and 18.13% for the twelve month period, while the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 5.45% for the quarter and 32.14% for the
year.

Although we are pleased with our performance during the quarter, the nature of a
value investment is more long-term in nature. Often, investors must be patient
with a company that is temporarily out of favor in the market. Perhaps it is a
company with strong management that is moving into a new market. Or perhaps the
company's growth pattern has been disrupted on a short-term basis. It could be a
company that is in the midst of a turnaround. In order to buy the stock, we have
to be able to visualize a likely scenario in which the company's problems turn
into opportunities.

Our definition of value is not bounded by size or market capitalization. A value
"play" could be a stock that few people have ever heard of-or it can be a
household name. Indeed, a classic value play currently in the portfolio is
International Business Machines, a company that has made a wrenching transition
from big mainframe computers to personal computers and networks. After some lean
years, International Business Machines earned $4.2 billion on sales of $74.9
billion in 1995. The stock is selling at about 10 times earnings now. In
contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, of which International Business
Machines is a component, is selling at about 18 times earnings.

Another good area for value is in the oil service industry, which had been
underperforming because of the low price of energy. However, the oil companies,
which have downsized and become more efficient, are now in a position to spend
more money on exploration. In addition, the technology in oil drilling is much
better now. For instance, Petroleum Geo-Services employs 3D seismic technology,
which more accurately identifies new areas for oil and gas drilling. Drilling
companies such as Falcon Drilling no longer have to drill straight down to reach
a target, but rather can drill sideways and parallel to a site.

Outlook

If the economy indeed strengthens, as suggested by recent economic indicators,
then the stock market could be vulnerable in the near term to a long overdue
correction. However, value stocks typically move independently of the overall
market. Value investing is a time-honored investment style, practiced by some of
the most respected money managers on Wall Street. Although the style doesn't
always produce the best quarter-to-quarter returns, value investing has proven
to be a very profitable way to invest in companies over the long term.

         IAI Growth and Income Fund, IAI Regional Fund, IAI Value Fund

                                 March 31, 1996

[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 Growth and Income Fund (Growth and Income Fund) is a separate
portfolio of IAI Investment Funds VII, Inc., IAI Regional Fund (Regional Fund) 
is a separate portfolio of IAI Investment Funds IV, Inc. and IAI Value Fund
(Value Fund) is a separate portfolio of IAI Investment Funds VIII, Inc. The
Funds have a primary objective of long-term appreciation through investments in
equity securities. This report covers only the Growth and Income Fund, Regional
Fund, and Value Fund (the Funds).

Significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are summarized below:

Security Valuation

Investments in securities traded on national 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
is used. Securities, including debt securities and restricted 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 a maturity of 60 days or less from the
date of initial acquisition are valued at amortized cost. Short-term securities
with a maturity greater than 60 days from the date of initial acquisition are
marked-to-market on a daily basis.

Restricted securities for which there is no public market are valued at fair
value in good faith as determined by the Board of Directors.

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, a 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

                                                                              37

purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or
paid.

The Fund is subject to the credit risk that the other party will not complete
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
of its taxable income to its shareholders, no provision for income taxes is
required. In order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, each Fund
is required to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains on a calendar year basis.

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and
tax purposes primarily because of recognition of limited partnership 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 also differ from its ultimate characterization for tax purposes.

On the statement of assets and liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax
differences, undistributed net investment income (loss), and accumulated net
realized gains (losses) have been increased or decreased, resulting in a net
reclassification adjustment to additional paid-in capital as follows:

</TABLE>

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 is recorded on the accrual basis. The Funds amortize discount
purchased on long-term bonds using the level yield method of amortization.
Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which
is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. The Funds use the equity
method of accounting for limited partnerships.

Distributions to
Shareholders

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

[1] Summary of Significant Accounting
    Policies (cont.)

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 of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.


[2] Commitments and Contingencies

For purposes of obtaining certain types of insurance coverage for the Funds and
its officers and directors, the Funds are policyholders in an industry-sponsored
mutual insurance company (the Company). In connection with their obligations as
policyholders, the Funds have made payments to the Company which have been
capitalized. Also, the Funds are committed to make future capital contributions,
if requested by the Company.

Growth and Income Fund, Regional Fund, and Value Fund have available lines of
credit of $15,000,000, $15,000,000 and $14,000,000, 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 line of credit. During the year ended
March 31, 1996, the Funds paid $5,713, $4,326, and $0, respectively, in interest
on the line of credit at an average annual rate ranging from 8.25% to 9.00%.
There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 1996.

At March 31, 1996, the Funds are committed to invest additional amounts in
certain positions held, as follows:

Default by a limited partner of payment of a properly requested capital
contribution, other than default due to a legal determination that such
contribution need not be made, would result in forfeiture of such limited
partner's interest in any future profits and loss in the partnership and removal
from the limited partnership.

The Funds' management intends to finance the aforementioned commitments with
available cash or with proceeds from the sale of investments in short-term
securities. Each Fund maintains in a segregated account an amount equal to its
aggregate unpaid commitments.

[3] Fees and Expenses

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, each Fund paid Investment
Advisers, Inc. (Advisers) an annual management fee computed monthly on the
average month-end net asset value using the following annual fee schedule:

For the first                        $200,000,000                 .75%
For the next                         $300,000,000                 .70%
Above                                $500,000,000                 .65%
</TABLE>

Each Fund also paid a monthly fee to Advisers for acting as the Fund's dividend-
disbursing, administrative, and accounting services agent. The fee was computed
monthly on the average month-end net assets at an annual rate of .20%.

Each Fund had a Plan of Distribution with IAI Securities, Inc. (Distributor),
the Fund's distributor. Under the Plan, each Fund paid Distributor a monthly fee
to cover expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of Fund shares. The
fee was equal to an annual rate of .25% of each Fund's average month-end net
assets.

In addition to the advisory, distribution, and the dividend-disbursing,
administrative, and accounting services fees, the Funds were responsible for
paying operating expenses, including costs incurred in the purchase and sale of
assets. Advisers and Distributor had agreed to reimburse the Funds to the extent
total expenses, excluding costs incurred in the purchase and sale of assets,
exceed, on an annual basis, 1.25% of each Fund's respective average month-end
net assets.

New Management Agreements between Advisers and the Funds were approved by a
majority of each Funds' shareholders at a special meeting held March 21, 1996,
and replaced the prior Advisory, Administrative, and Distribution Agreements
with Advisers. These new agreements, effective April 1, 1996, require Advisers
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 to
Advisers. This fee is equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of each Funds' average
daily net assets, and will be paid monthly. This fee declines to 1.10% (1.00 for
Growth and Income Fund) as each Fund's assets increase.

Pursuant to these new agreements, and subsequent to March 31, 1996, each Fund
paid Advisers to assume certain unpaid liabilities, and received amounts from
Advisers in exchange for transferring prepaid expenses to Advisers. As a result
of these transactions, Growth and Income, Regional and Value Funds received net
amounts of $15,275, $40,416 and $1,849, respectively.

Restricted Securities

Included in the Funds' portfolios of investments in securities at March 31, 1996
are issues which generally cannot be offered for sale to the public without
first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("restricted
securities"). Such securities are generally illiquid. Each Fund limits
investments in securities which are not readily marketable to 15 percent of its
net assets at the time of purchase. This limitation does not include Rule 144A
securities that have been determined to be liquid based upon guidelines approved
by the Funds' Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
IAI Investment Funds IV, Inc.
IAI Investment Funds VII, Inc.
IAI Investment Funds VIII, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the fund portfolios, of IAI Regional Fund (a portfolio within IAI Investment
Funds IV, Inc.), IAI Growth and Income Fund (a portfolio within IAI Investment
Funds VII, Inc.) and IAI Value Fund (a portfolio within IAI Investment Funds
VIII, Inc.) as of March 31, 1996 and the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and the
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the
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 the 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. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us by the
custodian. As to securities purchased and sold but not received or delivered, we
request confirmations from brokers and where replies are not received, we carry
out other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 the financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IAI
Regional Fund, IAI Growth and Income Fund and IAI Value Fund at March 31, 1996,
and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in
their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the
financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
