CALM AFTER THE STORM

[PHOTO]
NOEL P. RAHN
CHAIRMAN

The milestones keep coming faster and faster. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
broke the 5,000 barrier last November. Less than a year later, the Dow has now
broken through 6,000. That's pretty remarkable when you consider that the Dow
Jones Industrial Average was under 1,000 as recently as 1982.

There are many reasons to remain optimistic about the financial markets. After a
strong second quarter, the U.S. economy seems to be moderating its pace, growing
fast enough to generate corporate profits, but not so fast to bring back
inflation. Interest rates have stabilized, as the Federal Reserve Board took no
action before the presidential election, calming the market.

Still, the road hasn't always been smooth in 1996. The first half of this summer
was an eye-opener for many investors. After reaching a high of 5780 on May 22,
the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 7 percent by the end of July--more,
if you count swings in intra-day trading. And small cap stocks, those that
typically trade on NASDAQ, fell as much as 20 percent. The reason for the
turbulence was investor fears, generated by job growth data and increases in
commodity prices, that the economy was becoming overheated. Corporate profits in
the second quarter rose sharply. According to Business Week, corporate profits
rose 11 percent during the second quarter of 1996, compared to the same period
in 1995. In a pattern that often confounds politicians, good news in the economy
is often bad news on Wall Street.

Just remember, though, that stock market corrections are normal. They're even
healthy, because they allow investors to buy stocks at temporarily depressed
prices. For two months, the Dow fell steadily from 5780 in May to less than 5300
in July before rallying in early August back to the 5700 level. Of course,
nobody knows when the market will hit bottom. Many Wall Street pundits told the
media that the stock market was headed lower, perhaps much lower. But they were
wrong, as is often the case.

We don't recommend that you try to time the market. Even the pros can't get it
right consistently. That's why dollar cost averaging is such a good strategy. By
contributing a fixed amount into the market each month, your money buys more
shares when the market is low and fewer shares when the market is high. This
simple yet time honored method typically allows you to purchase shares at a
lower average cost.

Another way to minimize the impact of market turbulence is to make sure that you
are properly diversified. The fixed income market typically offers stability to
a portfolio, and is particularly appropriate for those investors who rely on
income as opposed to price appreciation. The international equity markets also
offer a way to diversify your portfolio, since the economies in other parts of
the world are in different stages than the U.S. economy.

Over the next six months, the markets will undoubtedly be affected by the
results of the U.S. presidential election as well as uncertainties regarding the
new Congress. And, as we've seen so far in 1996, there is great potential for
volatility. But the markets continue to demonstrate a remarkable resiliency.

          IAI GROWTH AND INCOME FUND, IAI REGIONAL FUND, IAI VALUE FUND


ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

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

The economy has been stuck in a pattern of mini-cycles where periods of strength
are followed by periods of weakness. After expanding at a rate of about 3.4% in
the first half of this year, growth has slowed to 2.2% in the third quarter and
may be somewhat slower than that pace in the fourth quarter.

Recognizing the ebb and flow of the economy is critical to understanding the
recent behavior of the financial markets. The U.S. economy is operating only
slightly below its non-inflationary capacity. An extended period of real
strength would push resource utilization beyond its limits, producing higher
inflation, a tighter Federal Reserve policy, rising interest rates and an
eventual recession. Pauses, such as the one we are currently experiencing, help
extend the cycle and postpone these events. Thus, the markets respond favorably
to signs of a slowdown, as long as the slowdown does not go too far.

Lower growth rates in the second half of the year should relieve some
inflationary pressures without seriously damaging the expansion. New job
creation has slowed in the last two months, but remains on a upward trend. The
unemployment rate of 5.2% is close to a seven-year low, but labor costs are
still contained. Consumer confidence remains high, but spending has slowed as
consumers re-liquefy. Money and credit growth are providing ample liquidity, but
the excesses of earlier this year are dissipating. Commodity prices (including
the price of gold) appear to be headed lower, the budget deficit is at its
lowest level in 15 years and the U.S. dollar is firm. Overall, the slowdown
helps to preserve a favorable economic background for stocks and bonds.

Eventually this cycle will end in its usual way, with an overheating economy,
higher inflation, tighter monetary policy and a recession. Although this is not
likely to develop in the next six months, investors should remember that the
current pause is sure to be followed by renewed strength along with a pullback
in the markets. With this in mind, it is important to focus on a long-term
financial plan and not react to the emotions of the moment. Instead, periods of
volatility should be used to realign a well diversified portfolio or invest cash
reserves. In the months immediately ahead, we expect the firming trend of stock
and bond prices to continue.

Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a detailed
perspective on each Fund's 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. 

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Growth and Income Fund
produced a total return of 7.59%. In contrast, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
generated a return of 7.76%. For the twelve-month period ended September 30,
1996, the IAI Growth and Income Fund produced a total return of 15.43% while the
S&P 500 Index was up 20.39%.

Companies such as Intel, Gillette and Norwest continued to perform extremely
well and boost the results of the portfolio. Intel has developed a very strong
business franchise by becoming the leading provider of components for personal
computers. Its Pentium chip continues to lead the market, which has helped
Intel's stock rise 30% in the third quarter. Gillette is another franchise
company generating tremendous amounts of free cash flow. The stock has performed
well recently in part because investors flock to stable growth companies when
the market is uncertain.

In addition, the investment community views its recent acquisition of Duracell
as synergistic in terms of building shelf space at the retail level. Norwest, a
Minneapolis-based financial institution, continues to exceed earnings
expectations. Their strategy is to become the McDonald's of banking, by buying
new "stores" and generating higher revenues and earnings through the
cross-selling of their different products.

On the minus side, tobacco stocks were down during the quarter due to an
unfavorable Florida court decision. However, a tobacco-related company in the
portfolio actually benefits from adverse legal developments. Schweitzer-Mauduit
International is the leading maker of filter tips for cigarettes. As the
litigation climate surrounding the tobacco industry intensifies, the company
will benefit because it produces devices that attempt to protect cigarette
smokers from the dangers of tobacco.

OUTLOOK

In extremely strong markets, the IAI Growth and Income Fund usually does not
outperform the broader averages. However, since we do not believe that the stock
market can continue to rise at an average rate of 15% when the economy is
growing just 3% per year, we believe that investors will tend to focus more on
true underlying corporate value, thus favoring the stocks in this portfolio.

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.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Regional Fund produced a
total return of 4.24%. In contrast, the IAI Regional 300 Index reflected a total
return of 5.60%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index generated a return of
7.76%. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Regional
Fund produced a total return of 16.31% while the S&P 500 Index was up 20.39%.

The IAI Regional Fund posted a strong second calendar quarter. The Fund was up
5.80% for the quarter, nearly double the IAI Regional 300 Index of 2.99% and
substantially above the S&P 500 Index performance of 4.49%. However, the third
calendar quarter ended September 30 was more difficult. The Regional Fund's
third quarter performance was -1.46% compared to 2.51% for the IAI Regional 300
and 3.09% for the S&P 500 Index. A number of companies in the
Portfolio--including IDEX, Polaris and Patterson Dental--reported disappointing
results. Additionally, the S&P 500 benefited from a third quarter rally in large
capitalization companies. Smaller capitalization stocks, such as those held in
our portfolio, generally underperformed.

On the plus side, strong performing areas in the third quarter included life
insurance and diversified electronic products. Life insurance stocks were
favorably impacted by lower interest rates. Leading performers included
Equitable of Iowa, Guarantee Life and Reliastar Financial. In diversified
electronics, not having a position in Motorola when the stock was knocked down
in July was beneficial to the portfolio. We subsequently established a position
in Motorola after the sell-off because we believe its price now reflects the
lack of near-term earnings visibility.

OUTLOOK

The capital goods area continues to be an important theme in the IAI Regional
Fund's portfolio. The theme has worked because companies that focus on
production have outperformed those that have emphasized consumption. However,
aggregate spending in the capital goods area is beginning to slow down, and we
believe that the quality of management will become even more important to
generating shareholder value. Companies such as Illinois Tool Works, Idex and
Tower Automotive are examples where management skill will be critical in order
for shareholders to continue to realize value in this less favorable
environment.

Our approach continues to focus on buying good companies and sticking to a
valuation discipline. Certain segments of the market have become quite
speculative due to the enormous amount of cash that has moved into the market.
Though our disciplined approach may impact performance over shorter time
periods, we believe it will serve our shareholders over the long term.

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. 

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Value Fund produced a total
return of 0.78%. In contrast, the Value Line Index reflected a total return of
3.29% while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index generated a return of 7.76%. For the
twelve-month period ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Value Fund produced a
total return of 8.08% while the Value Line Index reflected a total return of
7.64% and the S&P 500 Index was up 20.39%.

Greenpoint Financial, Life USA, Dal-Tile International and Department 56
illustrate the Fund's current strategy. Greenpoint Financial is the leading
provider of mortgage financing to lower income homeowners in the Northeast. The
company requires bigger down payments to compensate for the added risk. Because
of its strong franchise, the company generates a very large free cash flow. Life
USA is a Minneapolis-based insurance company that focuses on selling annuities.
The company has built distribution for its product by purchasing financial
planner firms that sell the product. Annuities are appealing because they
provide an income payment for life. Dal-Tile International, based in Texas, is a
leading manufacturer of decorative tile used in upper income homes. Kitchen and
bathroom tile is considered to be the most durable and stylish material.

In the past few years, small capitalization growth stocks have had a tremendous
runup. Many of these stocks have become overpriced and vulnerable to a downturn.
Typically, when these companies report disappointing earnings, share prices drop
dramatically. For instance, we were able to purchase the stock of Department 56,
a leading manufacturer of holiday decorations at a 25% discount after such a
disappointing announcement. However, the company still has a very strong
franchise, and we expect it to resume generating strong cash flow in the months
ahead.

OUTLOOK

In extremely strong markets, the IAI Value Fund usually does not outperform the
broader averages. However, since we do not believe that the stock market can
continue to rise at an average rate of 15% when the economy is growing just 3%
per year, we believe that investors will tend to focus more on true underlying
corporate value, thus favoring the stocks in this portfolio.

[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 Fund 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 risk 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 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.

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.

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, $14,471,265 and $13,750,000, 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
September 30, 1996, the Funds paid $3,696, $515, and $221, respectively, in
interest on the line of credit at an average annual rate of 8.25%. Advances
under the line of credit totalled $528,735 for the Regional Fund at September
30,1996. There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 1996 for the
Growth and Income Fund and the Value Fund.

At September 30, 1996, the Funds are committed to invest additional amounts in
certain limited partnership investments 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 each Funds' Management Agreements, Adviser 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, extraordinary expenses and
compensation of Directors), in return for each Fund paying an all inclusive
management fee to Advisers. This fee is paid monthly and is equal to an annual
rate of 1.25% of each Funds' average daily net assets, which declines to 1.10%
(1.00% for Growth and Income Fund) as each Fund's assets increase.


[4] CAPITAL STOCK

Growth and Income Fund has authorized 10 billion shares of $.10 par value stock;
Regional Fund and Value Fund each have authorized 10 billion shares of $.01 par
value stock. Transactions in shares of capital stock during the periods
indicated were as follows:

RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Included in the Funds' portfolios of investments in securities at September 30,
1996 are issues which generally cannot be offered for sale to the public without

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.

At September 30, 1996, the Funds held restricted securities as follows:
