REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
The Annual Report of Old Dominion Investors Trust, Inc. covers the 12
month period of our year from September 1, 1997 through August 31, 1998.
There were no factors, strategies, or techniques that materially affected
the Fund over the past year. Management continued to purchase good quality blue
chip stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. All securities that are
purchased for the Fund must have paid continuous dividends for at least 10
years. We believe this gives the Fund additional stability.
We focus on buying and adding stocks of companies with average dividend
yields and good prospects for improving earnings.
The Fund, through August 31, 1998, received $182,776 from expired call
options ($.47 per share). This income is distributed to stockholders in the
form of cash distributions. We will continue to sell options on portfolio
securities as market conditions warrant. Management believes this is a good
strategy to achieve above average income. Otherwise, high yields are just not
to be found in many stocks.
The Fund will continue to seek out attractive investments that sell at
reasonable prices in relation to earnings.
Sincerely yours,
Cabell B. Birdsong

OLD DOMINION INVESTORS' TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1998
NOTE 1 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Old Dominion Investors' Trust, Inc. (the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The primary investment objective of the Trust is
to seek income with long-term growth of capital being a secondary objective.
There can be no assurance that the Trust's objective will be achieved. The
Trust's assets are invested in marketable securities whose prices fluctuate.
Therefore, the value of the outstanding shares of the trust are not fixed, but
vary with the daily changes in market value of those securities held in the
Trust's portfolio.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed
by the Trust:
A. SECURITY VALUATION. Portfolio securities which are traded on an exchange
are valued at the last reported sale price on the date of valuation. If
there is no reported sale then the valuation is based upon the mean
between the bid and ask prices. Securities for which reliable quotations
are not readily available are valued at fair market value as determined in
good faith by the Trust's Board of Directors. Short-term investments are
valued at cost which when combined with accrued interest equals fair
market value.
B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Trust intends to continue to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND DIVIDENDS. As is common in the industry,
security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income
and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
D. OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. When the Trust sells an option, the
premium received is recorded as a liability. Each day the option contract
liability is valued in accordance with the procedures for security
valuations discussed above. When an offsetting option is purchased
(closing transaction) or the option contract expires, the Trust realizes a
gain or loss and the liability related to such option contract is
eliminated. When an option is exercised, the Trust realizes a gain or loss
from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are
increased by the premiums originally received.
E. USE OF ESTIMATES. In preparing financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 -- INVESTMENTS
During the year ended August 31, 1998, the cost of purchases and the
proceeds from sale of securities, excluding short-term notes, were $7,747,143
and $7,375,141, respectively.
NOTE 3 -- OPTIONS WRITTEN
A summary of option contracts written by the Trust during the year is as

NOTE 4 -- INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investors Security Company, Inc. ("Investors Security") provides the Trust
with investment management and advisory services pursuant to an investment
advisory agreement and contract. Investors Security furnished all investment
advice, office space and salaries of personnel needed by the Trust.
Additionally, Investors Security has agreed to act as the Trust's registrar and
transfer agent and to bear all related costs associated with the registration
and transfer of the Trust's shares. As compensation for its services, the
Manager is paid a monthly fee which is equal to an annual rate of .50% of the
Trust's average net assets.
The Trust has adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12B-1 under the 1940 Act
(the "Plan"), whereby it may pay up to .25% of average daily net assets to its
principal underwriter, Investors' Security Company, Inc. ("ISC"), for expenses
incurred in the distribution of the Trust's shares. Pursuant to this Plan, ISC
is entitled to reimbursement for payments to securities dealers providing
shareholder services. Distribution expenses incurred by ISC were $10,187 for
the year ended August 31, 1998.
Investors Security is a registered securities broker/dealer and serves as
the Trust's principal underwriter. During the year ended August 31, 1998,
Investors Security received $55 in underwriter's concessions and $29,317 in
commissions as a retail dealer in the Trust's shares. Investors Security also
received $104,646 in brokerage commissions on the execution of certain of the
Trust's portfolio transactions.
Certain officers and directors of the Trust are also officers and/or
directors of Investors Security.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Old Dominion Investors' Trust, Inc.
Suffolk, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Old
Dominion Investors' Trust, Inc., including the portfolio of investments and
schedule of option contracts written, as of August 31, 1998, the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes
in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the
period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits. The financial highlights of Old Dominion Investors' Trust, Inc. for
each of the eight years in the period ended August 31, 1996 were audited by
other auditors whose report dated September 26, 1996, expressed an unqualified
opinion on the financial highlights.
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 securities owned as of
August 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Where
brokers did not reply to our confirmation requests, we carried 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 financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Old
Dominion Investors' Trust, Inc. as of August 31, 1998, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets, and the
financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
