WHAT'S RIGHT WITH THIS MARKET

[PHOTO]
ROY C. GILLSON
PRESIDENT

The stock market has been on a roller coaster of late, and that naturally makes
people uneasy. But if you're a long-term investor, then I would argue that there
are a lot more good things influencing the market than bad things.

True, U.S. corporate earnings are flattening out, and that's putting a damper on
the stock market. When you buy a stock, you're buying a future stream of
dividends as well as a stronger company because most of the profits are being
reinvested. After double-digit growth during much of the 1990s, profits in 1998
are growing in the low single digits. A major reason why profits are sluggish is
the economic and currency turmoil in Asia, which hurts U.S. companies doing
business there.

Another reason for sluggish profit growth is the great job that Corporate
America has done to become more efficient. After years of cost-cutting, there
isn't much cutting left to do. To enhance profits, companies must either boost
prices or sell more products and services. But with inflation at virtually zero,
it's tough to raise prices. So, profit growth must come through increased unit
volume.

And that's where the good news is likely to begin. Even with the dampening
effects of Asia, the U.S. economy is still basically healthy, making it possible
for U.S. corporations to sell more products and services here at home. True,
we're losing business in Asia, because the dollar is so strong compared to their
currencies. But what we're losing in Asia, we're gaining in Europe, as that
region of the world begins to enjoy U.S.-style prosperity. Europe will look even
stronger once the Euro, the Continent's single currency, begins to replace 11
currencies on January 1, 1999.

Asia has helped keep inflation worries away, and that has kept interest rates
low. Recently, the 30-year Treasury bond yield reached its lowest level ever, as
global investors buy our securities for the greatest safety and liquidity.
Partly because of our low inflation environment, worldwide demand for U.S.
stocks and bonds continues to be strong.

Even if 1998 turns out to be a mediocre year for stocks, let's not feel too
sorry for ourselves. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has more than doubled
since 1995 and virtually tripled since the beginning of this decade. Where was
the Dow in 1982? 800! Has your house gone up by a factor of ten in fifteen
years? Probably not. The point is that markets do not go up in a straight line,
and there is bound to be volatility. But if you're an investor for the long
term, then you should be able to step back and see the good in this market.

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


ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

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

Growth in the U.S. economy is likely to slow in the months ahead, but it is hard
to become too negative on the outlook for the coming year. Although past
performance does not guarantee future success, there is little evidence of a
recession on the horizon. A modest slowdown is more likely, with real growth
dropping to about 2.5% for 1999. Inflation should continue to drift downward.

In general, the world has built excess capacity. Even in the United States,
which is one of the best performing economies, capacity utilization rates are
below peak levels and credit is readily available to make further productive
investments. Although labor markets are tight and employment costs are rising,
inflation is not a near-term threat.

To be sure, the economy is losing some of its forward momentum. The
manufacturing sector is clearly showing signs of weakness. This sector is
directly exposed to the global glut of commodity goods. With weakness overseas,
exports are slowing while imports are rising. Layoff announcements have
picked-up, and consumer confidence has dropped sharply in response to stock
market volatility. Disposable income is still growing, but at a slower pace.
Corporate profits are also being squeezed, which is likely to reduce capital
spending plans for next year. These indicators all point to slower growth ahead.

Yet, growing evidence of economic deterioration--if this occurs--will prompt
further rate reduction. Having taken the first step to ease in three years, the
Fed is now sensitive to overseas conditions and the fluid economic environment.
If the economy appears to be stumbling, the Fed has plenty of room to drop rates
and will do so with little hesitation. Likewise, renewed turmoil in the markets
will also prompt Fed action. Thus our outlook for no recession is driven by our
confidence that the Fed can and will act if necessary.

Fed diligence is also a key ingredient for the markets. Subdued inflation and
the prospect for further cuts in short rates--if need be--will provide good
support for bonds. Stock prices remain trapped in a tug-of-war between feeble
earnings and favorable liquidity. The stock market will be pulled up and down
until one force overcomes the other and sets the next trend.

Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a detailed
perspective on Fund performance and our strategy going forward. We appreciate
your continued trust and confidence in IAI. If there is any way we can serve you
better, please let us know by calling our toll-free Investor Services Hotline at

SINCERELY,

*PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS AS OF 9/30/98


HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, over the six months
ended September 30, 1998, with a return of (14.23%) compared to (6.98%). The
Fund's performance was negatively impacted by overweightings in the two worst
performing sectors, consumer cyclicals and financials.

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

Among the Fund's most successful positions were Philip Morris (3.26%)*, Intel
(2.46%)* and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (4.25%)*. Philip Morris
gained on news that the company may reach a settlement with state attorney
generals. Intel continues to dominate the rapidly growing market for
microprocessors, while Freddie Mac continues to prosper in the low interest rate
environment.
     The financials sector was hit hard due to fears of a global recession.
Lagging positions in that sector include Berkshire Hathaway (5.02%)*, SLM
Holding (2.68%)* and American Express (1.98%)*. Parametric Technology (1.54%)*,
lost ground after the company lowered future growth expectations. 800-JR Cigar
(3.24%)*, declined after reporting lower earnings due to disappointing retail
sales.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

Merck & Company (2.29%)*, Sigma-Aldrich (2.19%)* and United Healthcare (1.83%)*
were added to the Fund during the period. Merck & Company is the nation's
leading pharmaceuticals producer and one of the world's top three drug
companies. Sigma-Aldrich sells chemicals used in research and development to
hospitals, universities and laboratories. United Healthcare is a high quality
managed health care company which saw its stock price decline after canceling
merger plans with Humana, making it attractive based on our valuation
methodology.

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

A correction in stock prices occurred over the period out of concern that a
global slowdown will spread to the United States.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Over the upcoming period, stocks will most likely continue to decline due to tax
loss selling and continued concern over a global economic slowdown. Valuation
levels remain high, although a number of quality stocks are beginning to look
attractive based on the Fund's valuation methodology. The recent volatility
provides opportunities for the Fund to buy high quality companies, with strong
balance sheets and high levels of free cashflow, at attractive prices.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

The IAI Regional Fund, amid a broad based market sell-off, lost (18.73%) for the
six months ended September 30, 1998. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index lost
(6.98%).

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

Amoco Corporation (2.68%)*, an international oil exploration company, was the
biggest contributor to the Fund's performance as it agreed to be acquired by
British Petroleum (0.00%)* at a very attractive price. Great Plains Software
(1.11%)*, a developer of enterprise wide software, also performed strongly
during the quarter. Recovery Engineering (0.65%)*, United Healthcare (0.00%)*,
Advanced Fibre (0.00%)*, and Ciena (0.00%)* were the biggest disappointments.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

Several new positions were added to the Fund. We purchased Dean Foods (1.56%)*,
Whitman Corporation (0.47%)*, Horace Mann Educators (0.89%)*, and Surmodics
(0.13%)*. We eliminated several companies according to our strict sell
discipline.


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

The stocks of the very largest companies continued to post the best relative
results during the period. The S&P 500 Index, reflecting large stock
performance, fell 10% in the third quarter, the S&P 400 Midcap Index, a measure
of midcap stock results, lost 14.5%, and small cap stocks, as measured by the
Russell 2000 Index, declined 20.2%. About 60% of the Fund is invested in small
and midcap stocks which had a significant effect on the Fund's relative
performance.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Money is earned in the stock market by buying companies that build up economic
value by reinvesting in their businesses for future growth. Current valuations
of smaller and midcap stocks imply that expectations are very low. We continue
to hold high quality companies with strong prospects for the future. When the
market leadership shifts, the positive fundamentals of the companies in our Fund
should shine through.

*PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS AS OF 9/30/98


IAI VALUE FUND HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

For the six months ended September 30, 1998, the Fund outperformed one of its
benchmarks, the Russell 2500 Index, with a return of (19.23%) versus (22.44%),
respectively. The Fund underperformed its other benchmark, the S&P 500 Index,
which returned (6.98%).

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

Phoenix International (3.69%)*, which makes banking client server software, was
the strongest contributor to performance. Nordson, an international designer and
manufacturer of application systems for adhesives and sealants, and LifeUSA
Holding (2.37%)*, a financial and marketing services company, also contributed
to performance.
     During the period, the Fund's Board of Directors approved four downward
repricings of one privately-held security using fair value methodology. The
repricings had a significant negative effect on the Fund's net asset value and
reflected the eventual postponement of the security's initial public offering
(IPO) due to volatile capital markets. Privately-held, early-stage companies are
generally risky investments. The Fund remains susceptible to risks associated
with the Fund's large investment in this security (approximately 21% of the
Fund's total assets), the Fund's large total investment in privately-held
securities (approximately 35% of the Fund's total assets) and the Fund's
potential inability to sell the security until sometime in 1999.
     Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group (1.05%)*, 800-JR Cigar (3.03%)* and
Building One Services (1.31%)* also detracted from performance. Friedman,
Billings, Ramsey Group is a regional securities firm that experienced a
disappointing third quarter due to the weak IPOmarket. 800-JR Cigar declined
after reporting lower earnings due to disappointing retail sales. Building One
Services is a facilities services company that maximizes management efficiency
in building operations and maintenance.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

St. John Knits (0.97%)* and Towne Services (1.26%)* were added to the Fund. St.
John Knits designs and manufactures women's clothing, while Towne Services
designs products that convert credit transactions into automated virtual credit
card accounts. The IAI Value Fund remains closed to new investors.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUNDS
PERFORMANCE?

A correction in stock prices occurred this period out of concern that a global
slowdown will spread to the United States.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Over the upcoming period, stocks will most likely continue to decline due to tax
loss selling and continued concern over a global economic slowdown. Valuation
levels remain high, although a number of quality stocks are beginning to look
attractive based on our valuation methodology. The recent volatility provides
opportunities for the Fund to buy high quality companies at attractive prices.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                      (a)

Market value of securities is determined as described in Note 1 to the financial
statements, under "Security Valuation."

                                      (b)

Currently non-income producing security.

                                      (c)

Restricted securities generally must be registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 prior to being sold to the
public. For each restricted security issue held at September 30, 1998, the Fund
held no unrestricted securities of the same issuer as of either the date the
purchase price was agreed to or the date the Fund first obtained an enforceable
right to obtain the securities. Information concerning each restricted security
held at September 30, 1998 is shown on pages 21-25.

                                       (d)

Investment represents five percent or more of the outstanding voting securities
of the issuer, and is therefore an affiliate, as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, at September 30, 1998. A summary of transactions during the
period with affiliated issuers of the Funds follows:

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


                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                                   (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 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.

As of May 12, 1998, Value Fund was temporarily closed to new purchases (other
than systematic purchases). Value Fund's Board of Directors and Advisers
determined it to be in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders to close the
Fund due to an investment in a restricted security. Closing the Fund was
intended to protect existing shareholders by preventing individuals from
speculating on short-term purchases and sales of the Fund's shares.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are summarized below:

SECURITY VALUATION

Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on
each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is
regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the
absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or the last sale price on
the prior trading day. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt
securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service. Securities which cannot be
valued by the portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied
valuations, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by
the Board of Directors to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money
market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at
acquisition are valued at cost adjusted for amortization to maturity of any
premium or discount.

Restricted securities for which there is no public market are valued at fair
value in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Directors. Such
procedures consider various factors including, but not limited to, the cost of
the security at date of purchase, the current financial statements of the issuer
and special reports prepared by analysts, the size of the position held, recent
purchases or sales of securities of the company, prices and public trading
activity of comparable companies, the nature and duration of restrictions on
disposition, pending public offerings with respect to the security, changes in
economic conditions and industry developments affecting the issuer, and other
relevant matters. Restricted securities represent $2,779,448 (3.9% of net
assets) for Growth and Income Fund, $22,597,297 (6.7% of net assets) for
Regional Fund and $5,030,709 (34.7% of net assets) for Value Fund. Because of
the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for
the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

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.
The 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.


                                                                              37

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)

[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

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.

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. Distributions in excess of book basis
net investment income (but which are not tax returns of capital) are presented
as "excess distributions" in the statement of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights.

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 are recorded on the ex-dividend 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 in the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

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.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Included in the Funds' portfolios of investments in securities at September 30,
1998 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% of its net assets at the time of purchase. This limitation does not include

guidelines approved by the Funds' Board of Directors.

restricted securities. At September 30, 1998, Advisers were actively seeking
liquidation opportunities which would reduce the percentage of the Fund's
investment portfolio comprised of restricted securities. Advisers, under the
direction of the Board of Directors, intends to pursue such opportunities when
deemed in the best interest of the shareholders.
