HOW TO USE THIS REPORT
 
Some of our clients prefer a brief overview of their Advantus Series Fund
investments while others prefer full financial statements. This report is
designed to meet both objectives.
 
    For a quick overview of each Portfolio's performance, investment strategies
and holdings, refer to the front section of the report. Comprehensive investment
holdings, market values and financial reports begin on page 28.
 
    Performance charts graphically compare each Portfolio's performance with
select investment indices and other benchmarks. This comparison provides your
with more information about your investments.
 
    The charts are useful because they illustrate performance over the same time
frame and over a long period. There are limitations, however. An index may
reflect the performance of securities that the Portfolio may not hold. Also, the
index does not deduct investment advisory fees and other fund expenses--whereas
your Portfolio does. Individuals cannot buy even an unmanaged index fund without
incurring some charges and expenses.
 
    This report is just one of several tools you can use to learn more about
your investment(s) in the Advantus Series Fund. Your MIMLIC Sales
representative, who understands your personal financial situation, can best
explain the features of your investment and how they apply to your financial
needs.

    Dear Shareholders:
 
    The last six months have certainly provided first hand evidence of a
    market in fluctuation. In the first quarter of 1997, inflation fears
    linked to a 5.6 percent rise in the GDP caused the Federal Reserve to
    increase short-term money rates by 1/4 percent at the end of March. This
    "preemptive strike" combined with market expectations of an additional
    increase by the Federal Reserve in May caused a strong reaction in the
    market through April of this year.
 
        The expected inflation did not materialize. With second quarter GDP
    growth expected to come in at around 2 percent, corporate earnings
    reports strong, and without an additional increase in interest rates by
    the Federal Reserve, the market rebounded sharply in May and June. The
    S&P 500 rose 17.4 percent for the second quarter, an increase of 25
    percent from its 1997 bottom in April, and is up 20.6 percent for 1997.
    The largest 100 stocks in the S&P 500 based on market capitalization
    continue to lead the index, while the smallest 100 stocks recovered from
    low performance in 1996 to be the second leading performers year to
    date.
 
        However, not all stocks performed equally. Only 38 percent of the
    companies in the index out performed the index. And at least one measure
    of stock price volatility, standard deviation of returns, is also up in
    1997. Standard deviation of returns statistically measures the potential
    range of future returns given the range of returns for the current time
    period. Therefore, a higher number means the statistical potential of
    future returns is much wider, both higher and lower. Through the second
    quarter, the standard deviation of returns for 1997 was 15.4 percent, up
    from the average in 1992 through 1996 of 9.8 percent.
 
        In the bond market, investment grade bonds posted low single digit
    returns through the first half of 1997. Through the second quarter, as
    signs of slower economic growth and low inflation encouraged bond
    investors, interest rates fell to the lower end of their recent range.
    At quarter end, the interest rate on the two-year U.S. Treasury Note had
    decreased .35 percentage points to yield 6.06 percent. The thirty-year
    U.S. Treasury Bond closed the period yielding 6.78 percent, .32
    percentage points lower.
 
        All indicators point to a continuation of strong market performance
    through the remainder of the year. Stable economic growth in the range
    of 2 to 3 percent is expected through 1997. Long term inflation will be
    contained by cheap global labor, technology and corporate productivity
    enhancements. Although market equity valuations are high, there is
    additional room for growth as corporations continue to show increases in
    earnings and profits.
 
        The market will still find things to worry about: too much economic
    growth, the Federal Reserve's next move, monthly inflation indicators,
    and conflicting employment data. Occasional scares will translate into
    continued volatility; in interest rates in the bond market, and stock
    prices in the stock market. We view these possibilities as buying
    opportunities. We see the corporate bond and mortgage markets continuing
    to expand, with the expectation of high single digit returns through the
    end of the year. Stock market growth will slow as corporations find it
    increasingly difficult to maintain current earnings and profitability
    growth rates.
 
        Choosing the right securities in a fluctuating environment, and
    maintaining a long term view in the midst of short term volatility
    requires experience and expertise. Advantus Capital Management provides
    you with a professional staff of experienced money managers able to sift
    through the noise in the marketplace and maintain a stable investment
    discipline. We also have the long term outlook required to develop
    thoughtful, well-conceived investment strategies for you. We appreciate
    your continued confidence in our ability to provide you with prudent,
    competitive investment performance.
 
                                               Sincerely,
 
                                               /s/ Paul Gooding
 
                                               Paul Gooding,
                                               President

            The Growth
            Portfolio seeks
            the long-term
            accumulation of
            capital, with
            current income as
            a secondary
            objective. It
            invests primarily
in common stocks and other
equity securities.
PERFORMANCE
The Growth Portfolio participated in the strong market advance over the six
month period ending June 30, 1997, by appreciating 17.3 percent.* Over the same
period, the S&P 500** gained 20.6 percent, while the average Lipper Growth Fund+
produced a net return of 14.28 percent.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
The underlying fundamentals could hardly be better for the U.S. stock market.
Corporate earnings are good, inflation is under control, fiscal and monetary
policies are not restrictive, and aging baby boomers are providing the fuel, in
the form of cash, to propel the stock market to record heights. Stock market
strength was generally wide spread during the first half of 1997, with the
strongest areas being the mega-large stocks and the health care, financial, and
capital goods sectors of the market. The utilities and energy sectors lagged the
market over the past six months.
    For the Growth Portfolio strong performance came from a range of companies
across several economic sectors. Schering-Plough and Abbott Labs significantly
outperformed the market during the past six months and contributed to a strong
performance in the health sector. In the retailing sector Wal Mart and Home
Depot both gained over 30 percent over the past six months. ConAgra Inc.
outperformed in the consumer staples area, while Gannett Co. and Royal Dutch
also significantly contributed to the first half results.
OUTLOOK
The environment for stocks could not be better. The risk to the market is that
much of this good news is already reflected in the market today as seen by the
historically high valuation levels put on individual stocks and the overall
market. To sustain continued growth the fundamentals need to continue to be
excellent.
    We will continue to invest in medium to large sized companies that have the
management and the business model to sustain earnings growth potential
throughout an economic cycle. As earnings growth slows for the overall market,
the sustainable long term earning potential for the growth stocks in the Growth
Portfolio should be favored by the market.

BOND PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE UPDATE
WAYNE SCHMIDT, CFA
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
 
  [PHOTO]
            The Bond
            Portfolio seeks
            as high a level
            of long-term
total return as is consistent
with prudent investment risk.
Preservation of capital is a
secondary objective. The Bond
Portfolio invests in
long-term, fixed income, high
quality debt instruments.
PERFORMANCE
The Bond Portfolio returned 3.5 percent* for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
strongly outperforming the Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Bond Index**
which returned 2.7 percent for the same period.
    Interest rates continued to be range bound, but began to revisit the rate
levels from the beginning of the year as signs of slower economic growth and low
inflation encouraged bond investors. When the six months ended, the interest
rate on the two year U.S. Treasury Note had increased 19 basis points to yield
6.06 percent. The 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond closed the period yielding 6.78
percent, 14 basis points higher. Bond prices fall when interest rates rise, so
the movement to slightly higher interest rates had a negative impact on the
total returns for the period.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
The continued themes for the six month period were active interest rate
management and finding the best relative value in the corporate bond market.
When interest rates peaked north of seven percent in early April and then again
in late May, duration was extended each time to ten percent longer than our
benchmark. As rates declined into late April and then again in June, the
Portfolio's maturity was shortened. Thirty-year U.S. Treasury Bonds were bought
and sold to adjust the duration targets. These moves benefited the Portfolio as
capital gains were realized on the price appreciation. The price appreciation
coupled with interest income produced above average returns for the period. On
the corporate bond side, our exposure to U.S. pay international bonds,
cable/media, and the brokerage sectors have been a positive contributor to the
overall portfolio performance as their credit spreads tightened, driving their
prices higher.
    The overall credit quality of the Bond Portfolio is high single A, with all
of the securities possessing an investment grade rating. At period end, 67
percent of the Fund's assets were invested in investment grade corporate bonds,
13 percent in mortgaged backed securities, 12 percent in U.S. Government bonds,
and 8 percent in money market instruments.
OUTLOOK
At the beginning of the year, our expectation was that 1997 bond market would
look very similar to the bond market experienced in 1996. Through the first six
months of the year this statement has held true and we expect the trend of range
bound interest rates to continue. Future quarterly economic growth will likely
fluctuate between one percent and four percent. We believe long-term inflation
will be contained by the forces of cheap global labor, technology and
productivity enhancements. Despite the positive long-term fundamentals, the bond
market will still find things to worry about: too much economic growth, the
Federal Reserve's next move, the monthly inflation indicators and the employment
data. Investor concern on these issues will translate into continued interest
rate volatility and thus, the opportunity to benefit from investor over
reaction.
    In a range bound market with tight credit spreads, active duration
management will be an even more important component of success for the remainder
of the year. We will take advantage of opportunities to buy undervalued
securities and extend duration during periods of market weakness and reduce the
portfolio's exposure to interest rate risk during periods of market strength.

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE UPDATE
WAYNE SCHMIDT, CFA
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
 
  [PHOTO]
            The Money Market
            Portfolio seeks
            maximum current
income to the extent
consistent with liquidity and
the preservation of capital.
It invests in short-term
money market instruments and
other debt securities that
mature within 397 days.
INVESTMENT IN THE MONEY
MARKET PORTFOLIO IS NEITHER
INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND THERE
CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE
PORTFOLIO WILL BE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET
VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
PERFORMANCE
The Money Market Portfolio's seven day compounded yield was 5.13 percent* as of
June 30, 1997. For the first half of the year, the Portfolio returned 2.5
percent.*
    Money market interest rates ended the period basically unchanged, despite
the Federal Reserve's move to raise the Fed Funds target rate by 25 basis points
in March. For the six months ended in June, the yield on the three month U.S.
Treasury Bill decreased one basis point to yield 5.17 percent. The six month
U.S. Treasury Bill ended the period five basis points lower to yield 5.25
percent.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
The Federal Reserve's decision to raise rates was their first move since the 25
basis cut in rates back in January 1996. Alan Greenspan billed the March rate
hike as a preemptive strike against potential future inflation. Fixed income
investors expected the Federal Open Market Committee to make this move and short
term interest rates had already crept 25 basis points higher prior to the
announcement. By the end of the period however, short-term rates declined back
to their starting point, the low five percent area.
    In the Money Market Portfolio, the average days to maturity was 37 days at
the end of the period, 23 days shorter than the average money market fund. The
shorter average days to maturity allows the Portfolio to be more responsive to
changes in interest rates. This is a positive attribute in a rising rate
environment, which is a concern over the next six months. Also, the Portfolio's
maturities are evenly distributed between 1 and 125 days, thus smoothing out any
reinvestment risk.
    The Money Market Portfolio invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S.
agencies, and high quality commercial paper to maintain both excellent liquidity
and quality. Corporate commercial paper, because of its yield advantage, is the
primary asset class used. It accounted for 90 percent of the Portfolio's assets
at the end of the period.
OUTLOOK
Short-term interest rates will likely continue to be relatively stable with an
upward bias as we move toward year end. The Federal Reserve is closely
monitoring economic growth and inflation and could follow up on their initial
tightening with another 25 basis point hike in rates if the economic
fundamentals dictate. The economy will likely continue to grow at a moderate
pace in the upcoming quarters and we believe inflation should remain around
three percent. With money market yields in the low to mid five percent range and
inflation at three percent, money market funds offer investors an attractive
real return potential on their investment.

    The seven-day compounded yield is computed by determining the net change in
the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of one share at the
beginning of a seven calendar day period, dividing that change by seven, adding
one to the quotient, raising the sum to the 365th power and subtracting one from
the result.
*Historical results are not an indication of future performance. Investment

ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE UPDATE
THOMAS GUNDERSON, CFA
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
  [PHOTO]   The Asset
            Allocation
            Portfolio seeks
            as high a level
            of long-term
total rate of return as is
consistent with prudent
investment risk. It invests
in common stocks and other
equity securities, bonds and
money market instruments. The
mix of investments is varied
by the portfolio's management
as economic conditions
indicate.
PERFORMANCE
Propelled by a strong stock market the Asset Allocation Portfolio posted an
attractive 9.8 percent* return for the same six month period ended June 30,
1997. The stock portion of the portfolio clearly led the way with double digit
returns, with bonds, mortgages, and money market investments all producing low
single digit returns for the first half of 1997. The return for the Merrill
Lynch-Wishire Capital Markets Index (CMI)** was 12.1 percent for the same six
month period. The CMI modestly outperformed the Asset Allocation Portfolio
primarily because it has over 65 percent in stocks while the Asset Allocation
Portfolio averaged a little over 50 percent in stocks over the period.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
The asset mix of the portfolio continues to reflect the "relative valuation"
methodology utilized since the portfolio's inception. Our work continues to see
stocks as being overvalued on virtually all valuation measures. Following this
valuation methodology we entered the year with a conservative 50 percent of the
portfolio in stocks. After modestly raising the weight to 55 percent early in
the first quarter, stocks were then scaled back to 45 percent by the end of the
second quarter. Bonds have gone from 35 percent to 45 percent of the portfolio
while cash has remained at 10 percent of the portfolio. The current asset mix is
45 percent stocks, 45 percent bonds and 10 percent cash.
    The underlying fundamentals could hardly be better for the U.S. stock
market. Corporate earnings are good, inflation is under control, fiscal and
monetary policies are not restrictive, and aging baby boomers are providing the
fuel, in the form of cash, to propel the stock market to record heights. Stock
market strength was generally wide spread during the first half of 1997, with
the strongest areas being the mega-large stocks and the health care, financial,
and capital goods sectors of the market. The utilities and energy sectors lagged
the market over the past six months.
    Within the Asset Allocation Portfolio, performance from stock holdings came
from a range of sectors. The capital goods sector was strong in the first half
of 1997 led by stocks such as Tyco International-a new holding, and General
Electric--a long-time favorite. The healthcare sector was propelled by our
holdings in Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson. Another attractive sector during the
first half was financials, where Associates First Capital and American
International Group led the way.
    The fixed income investments in the Portfolio did a good job relative to the
market because of two factors. First, we purchased longer duration bonds when
30-year U.S. Treasury yields climbed over 7 percent. Second, we held relatively
fewer U.S. Treasury securities and more of the "spread" product which was the
stronger performing sector during the first half of 1997.
OUTLOOK
Buying into the stock market today is like buying a high expectations growth
stock. You can make money as long as things continue to go well. Currently there
is no sign of a negative catalyst for this market. The fundamentals are great
but the valuation levels already appear to have taken a lot of that into
account.
    It is not likely that the dual goals of strong corporate earnings and a
moderate growth economy will continue to be met. It is likely that eventually
either the slowing economy will negatively impact corporate earnings, or the
economy re-accelerates causing the Federal Reserve to raise interest
rates--along with the negative ramifications for the financial markets.
    Buying and holding as much stock as you could was the investment strategy
that worked best in the last investment cycle. If the current market holds
through year end it will be the first time in the recorded history of the S&P
500 that the annual return exceeded 20 percent for three years in a row.
Tomorrow's financial markets will not likely be so simple.

MORTGAGE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE UPDATE
KENT WEBER, CFA
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
 
  [PHOTO]
            The Mortgage
            Securities
            Portfolio seeks a
            high level of
current income consistent
with prudent investment risk.
The Mortgage Securities
Portfolio will invest
primarily in mortgage-related
securities.
PERFORMANCE
For the six month period ending June 30, 1997, the Mortgage Securities Portfolio
returned 4.0 percent.* Over the same time period, Lehman Brothers
Mortgage-Backed Index** returned 3.9 percent and Lipper's Mortgage Fund
Category+ returned 3.2 percent. With this type of solid performance, the
mortgage market continues to be one of the stronger performing sectors of the
fixed income market.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
During the last six months, we have been finding our best investment
opportunities in securities containing seasoned residential mortgage loans,
commercial mortgage securities and investment grade mortgage securities. The
common theme among all these securities is the delivery of predictable
prepayments or structures with restricted prepayments. These securities were
priced at reasonable levels to offer attractive yields and solid performance. It
may be helpful to think of prepayments on mortgage securities like you think of
earnings on a stock. The market anticipates some level of prepayment on all
mortgage securities when it sets a market price. Therefore, it's not really a
matter of whether prepayments are good or bad, but whether prepayments are in
line with your estimates. To this extent, the market is undervaluing securities
with more predictable and consistent cash flow. Should market interest rates
move meaningfully higher or lower during the rest of the year, securities with a
more predictable earnings stream will once again receive the love they deserve.
    In order to fill the portfolio with as many undervalued mortgage securities
as possible, we find it imperative to constantly shop and compare value and
prices among all the sectors of the mortgage market. Then by selectively
participating in the most attractive securities, we add value and simultaneously
build a solid portfolio of high quality securities. Currently, the portfolio is
allocated with 44 percent agency pass-throughs, 45 percent collateralized
mortgage obligations, 4 percent commercial pass-throughs, 2 percent asset backed
securities and 5 percent cash. Our effective duration is 3.9 years, which makes
us 5 percent longer than the Lehman Mortgage Index (3.7 years).
OUTLOOK
The economy's ability to balance strong growth and stable inflation is truly
impressive. As long as inflation remains tame, more investors will come to
accept (grudgingly) the fact that the fundamentals (i.e. technology,
demographics, world economy, etc.) of today's economy are different from those
of the past. While we may have tamed the savage business cycle, we have not
eliminated it and as such investors will undoubtedly remain vigilant in their
search for inflation. This type of environment remains mortgage investor
friendly, and therefore, we see the mortgage portfolio remaining on track to
deliver solid single digit returns for the year.

            Appreciation
            Portfolio seeks
            growth of
            capital.
Investments will be made
based upon their potential
for capital appreciation.
While Advantus Capital

Management, Inc. provides

Portfolio under a
subadvisory agreement.
PERFORMANCE
For the six months ending June 30, 1997 the Capital Appreciation Portfolio
gained 12.0 percent.* This compares with an increase of 19.6 percent in the
Russell 1000 Growth Index** and 20.6 percent in the S&P 500+ for the same time
period.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
The stock market performance in the first half of 1997 demonstrates that no
matter how much investment professionals try to forecast the economy as a
precursor of the market's direction, short-term market moves are driven by
emotion. In the past two quarters, we have seen two sides of investor
emotion--nervousness about loss of capital with the market indices declining
almost 10 percent during March and April and then enthusiasm for capital
appreciation with the Dow Jones Average galloping 1450 points or 23 percent in
the last two months. Such a stunning gain usually comes on the heels of a bear
market. This type of increase has never happened before when stocks had already
risen 20 percent in the prior year. The S&P 500+ second quarter performance of
17.5 percent was the strongest second quarter since 1938, and the 1997-to-date
total return of 20.6 percent was the fourth strongest first half-year gain of
the past 50 years.
    For the first half of the year, the mega cap stocks again had the best
returns within the Portfolio. On a market cap-weighted basis, the S&P 500+ price
return was 19.5 percent. On an equal-weighted basis it was 15.5 percent. For the
5,460 stocks with market capitalization over $50 million, the average price
return was only 8.4 percent. Numerous periodicals have commented on the
stratification of returns by size of company, but the duration and magnitude are
quite startling.
    The Portfolio's investment philosophy is based on the belief that owning
companies with above-average earnings growth will likely produce greater
investment return potential over the long term. We also are sensitive to
valuation--what you pay in price/earnings ratio for that future growth rate. The
philosophy is implemented by mixing several medium capitalization stocks with
large cap growth issues. This means that we generally will be underweighted in
the very largest companies and financial stocks because these types of companies
usually cannot achieve earnings growth in excess of 13 percent annually.
    Over the last two years the Portfolio has maintained an overweighted
position in telecommunication, technology and specialty retail companies. The
overweighted positions in technology and telecommunications proved to be
negative for the portfolio's performance during the first half of 1997. During
the first quarter, the stocks underperformed but rebounded nicely in the
following three months. Although they have underperformed, the stock market so
far this year, we are confident that the strong fundamentals exhibited by these
specific companies will lead toward further price appreciation. Many of the
consumer service companies that are owned in the Portfolio have outperformed
over the first and second quarters of 1997. An example of these stocks include
Wal Mart Stores (+49 percent), Dollar General Corporation (+47 percent), Home
Depot (+38 percent) and Kohl's (+35 percent).
    During the second quarter, the companies in the Portfolio reported an
average increase in earnings of 29 percent compared with a year ago. The
Portfolio has a projected growth rate in earnings per share of 1998 of 23
percent. This compares with our expectation of earnings growth for the S&P 500+
of 6-7 percent. The earnings growth rate is not necessarily indicative of future
results or how the Portfolio itself is doing. The portfolio sells a moderate P/E
premium to the S&P 500+ yet exhibits 3-4 times the projected earnings growth. In
our opinion, this valuation should lead to favorable returns.
OUTLOOK
What is remarkable about the current economy is that despite all the media
commentary, it has been abnormally stable and consistent on an annual basis.
Specifically, we have seen moderate inflation between 0-3.5 percent annual rate
for 69 consecutive months. Long-term treasury rates have been between 5.75 and
8.25 percent throughout the decade of the 1990's. Corporate profits, the other
key market driver, have consistently surprised on the upside with S&P operating
earnings rising better than 15 percent annually for the past 5 years. Corporate
productivity gains have caused S&P operating margins and return on equity to
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
reach their highest levels in 30 years. This achievement, combined with
favorable fiscal and monetary policies, gives us confidence to maintain our
favorable economic forecast for moderate GDP growth, modest inflation and flat
to lower interest rates.
    We remain committed to our investment discipline of searching out those
opportunities in companies with the demonstrated ability to grow their business
at above-average rates regardless of the near-term economic environment. The
Capital Appreciation Fund continues to find attractive opportunities in
healthcare as demographic and structural changes in the industry offer many
companies the chance to grow earnings. With the continued interconnection of
society and business, favorable growth rates will likely continue to exist in
many technology companies. In addition, the consumer service industry provides
above-average unit growth potential. The large and globally competitive U.S.
economy continues to provide many opportunities to find good growth ideas.

GARY CLEMONS
TEMPLETON INVESTMENT
COUNSEL
  [PHOTO]   The International
            Stock Portfolio
            seeks long-term
capital growth. The Portfolio
will invest primarily in
common stocks of companies
and governments outside the
United States. While Advantus
Capital Management, Inc. acts
as investment adviser for the
portfolio, Templeton
Investment Counsel, Inc.
provides investment advice to
the International Stock
Portfolio under a subadvisory
agreement.
PERFORMANCE
The International Stock Portfolio returned 13.7 percent* for six month period
ending June 30, 1997, compared to the MSCI EAFE Index** return of 11.3 percent.
PERFORMANCE RECAP
Global stock markets turned in strong performance once again in the first half
of 1997. Spurred by a favorable interest rate environment, strong earnings
growth and high levels of liquidity, most markets generated positive returns.
    On a macro level, Europe is benefiting from tight fiscal policies and loose
monetary policies as governments move towards achieving the January 1999
European Union convergence criteria. From a bottom-up basis, many European
companies are responding to global competition through long-overdue
restructuring, perhaps best illustrated by consumer electronics maker Philips
Electronics NV, which appreciated over 80 percent during the first half.
    Latin American markets also performed well, driven by strong earnings
growth, positive liquidity and relatively low valuations. The fund's largest
holding, Brazil's national telephone company, Telebras, appreciated by over 100
percent in the first half of the year due to positive developments regarding its
future privatization. Finally, Asian markets turned in a mixed performance as
severe fiscal difficulties impacted a number of countries, including Thailand
and the Philippines. Previously high valuations in these countries meant the
fund had low exposure to those markets. Japan rebounded from a poor first
quarter and is now up 8.7 percent for the year as fears over the April 1st tax
increase faded, the yen weakened (aiding Japan's exporters) and the economy
continued to recover. Finally, Hong Kong turned in positive performance as
concerns surrounding the June 30, 1997 handover to China are fading.
    The strategies employed by the Portfolio in the first half of the year are
consistent with the methods used by the Templeton organization for over 50
years. Our team of 33 analysts scour the globe looking for out of favor
securities trading at depressed levels relative to long-term "normalized"
earnings. To us, normalized represents what a company can earn in the middle of
a typical economic cycle and requires us to forecast earnings and cash flow out
five years. We then purchase stocks that are cheap on a five year basis, and on
average hold them for the same period of time. We believe that over the
long-term a bottom-up, value-based contrarian approach produces greater return
potential.
    This value-based approach means the portfolio continues to overweight
European securities, underweight Japan and maintain a 12 percent (and rising)
exposure to "emerging markets." Contributors to the fund's first half
performance include several telecommunication service providers (the
aforementioned Telebras, and Spain's Telefonica de Espana) and a handful of
European restructuring successes (Philips Electronics NV in the Netherlands,
France's and Sweden's Volvo).
OUTLOOK
We remain positively disposed towards the international markets on a longer term
view but are concerned with short-term valuations. While we are not top-down
managers, our industry analysts continue to find value in the UK, Latin America
and Asia and the portfolio's holdings will reflect this shift. By purchasing out
of favor securities trading at low valuations and maintaining a diversified
portfolio, we are attempting to reduce volatility while positioning the
portfolio for strong long-term performance. We thank our shareholders for their
support and look forward to serving you in the future.

SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE UPDATE
JIM TATERA, CFA
CHIEF EQUITY PORTFOLIO
MANAGER
  [PHOTO]   The Small Company
            Portfolio seeks
            long-term
accumulation of capital. It
invests primarily in common
stocks of small companies,
defined in terms of either
market capitalization or
gross revenues that are less
than $1.5 billion.
 
Typically, at least 65
percent of the portfolio will
be invested in stocks of
small companies. In addition,
we will buy stocks of larger
companies that we feel are
growing significantly faster
than the market overall.
PERFORMANCE
The first half of 1997 was one of opposites for small cap investors. After a
weak first quarter, which saw many small cap growth managers down over 10
percent, the second quarter rebounded smartly. The Russell 2000* returned 15.7
percent for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, bringing its year to date return to
9.3 percent. There continues to be a significant deviation between the Russell
2000 Growth Index,** a proxy for small growth stocks, which returned 5.1 percent
during the first half of 1997, and the Russell 2000 Value Index,** a proxy for
small value stocks, which returned 14.8 percent during the same period.
    The Small Company Portfolio, which focuses on small growth companies, gained
4.9 percent+ for the six months ending June 30, 1997. For the quarter ending
June 30, 1997, the Portfolio returned 18.8 percent.+
PORTFOLIO RECAP
The quarter ended on a decidedly strong note for investors in smaller companies.
Each sector showed strong results for the quarter. Year to date, financial
services and consumer discretionary have contributed the most to performance
while technology is the only sector down for the year, even given it's strong
performance in the second quarter.
    The Small Company Portfolio was positively impacted by a diverse group of
companies including Corrections Corporation of America (manages prisons and
other correctional facilities for governmental agencies), CKS Group (integrated
marketing communication services), Fairfield Communities (developer and operator
of resort, home developments), Borders Group (retail book superstores) and
United Waste Systems (solid waste management services).
    The Portfolio's underweighted position in financials held back performance
relative to the index. Financial companies typically do not exhibit the strong
operational growth characteristics necessary for us to take an investment. One
company which negatively impacted performance was Tommy Hilfiger which has shown
some deterioration in its fundamentals as it transitions into areas beyond its
traditional men's apparel lines into women's, children's and assorted licensed
products like fragrances and home furnishings. We sold part of our position
early in the year when we purchased Nautica Enterprises which competes with
Tommy, and which we felt was a better opportunity at the prices available then.
Tommy Hilfiger is a company we continue to monitor closely as it goes through
this transition phase. Another was Idexx Labs, a biotech company which declined
in value after a shortfall in revenue over the most recent period cast doubt
about its growth potential. We have sold most of our position in Idexx Labs.
    In situations like these we reevaluate all fundamental information to
determine if the Portfolio should continue to hold the position. We focus on our
objectives of investing in strong growth companies in terms of revenues and
earnings with solid prospects for continuing or accelerating that growth. A
change in fundamentals (and stock price) can warrant a sale and removal from the
portfolio or could be an opportunity to add to our positions.
OUTLOOK
Until recently, small cap growth companies, as represented by the Russell 2000
Growth Index,* have lagged behind the overall market by over 20 percentage
points. This is the second worst trailing 12 month performance in history! Small
stocks have been indiscriminately sold off during this period by investors
favoring more liquid, large-cap stocks with supposedly more stable growth. This
most recent experience will not continue forever.
    As overall economic trends continue to moderate, a more favorable
environment will likely develop for smaller companies which exhibit the ability
to continue to grow through these temporary slowdowns in economic growth. We
continue to be very constructive on smaller companies due to their relatively
cheap valuation and strong growth prospects.

PORTFOLIO RECAP
Our investment activities remain focused on tracking the performance of the
respective Indexes. In reaching these goals, we continue to use a variety of
Government Agency bonds. By selectively using Government securities in concert
with Treasury securities, the portfolios benefit from enhanced diversification
as well as from the receipt of additional income (over treasury securities).
    With the passing of time, the duration of the portfolios continue to roll
forward toward their respective maturities. The effective durations of the
portfolios have shortened by approximately .5 years since the beginning of the
year and now stand as follows:

</TABLE>
 
OUTLOOK
The economies ability to balance strong growth with stable inflation continues
to come as a pleasant surprise to many investors. Investors will undoubtedly
maintain their vigilant search for inflation, but few storm clouds are visible
on the horizon. The economy appears to be benefiting from a double dose of
economic reality that should continue through the rest of the year. Advancements
in productivity and therefore our standard of living are being lead by both the
technology revolution as well as by the efficiencies of an ever improving world
economy. In the end, we may have tamed the savage business cycle, but we have
not eliminated it. Given this backdrop, our outlook for the rest of the year
calls for quarterly growth potential to bounce between 1 percent to 4 percent
and inflation to hang out around 2.5 percent to 3.0 percent. These conditions
should leave long term interest rates in their recent range of 6.0 percent to
7.25 percent.

VALUE STOCK PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE UPDATE
MATTHEW FINN, CFA
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
 
  [PHOTO]
            The Value Stock
            Portfolio seeks
            long-term
accumulation of capital. The
Portfolio invests primarily
in equity securities of
companies which, in the
opinion of the Adviser, have
market values which appear
low relative to their
underlying value or future
growth potential.
PERFORMANCE
For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Value Stock Portfolio returned
16.2 percent* versus 16.5 percent for the S&P Barra Value Index** and 20.6
percent for the S&P 500 Index+ for the same period.
PORTFOLIO RECAP
Areas that helped performance included holdings in the paper and forest products
industry as Fort Howard Paper increased 82.8 percent during the six months
mainly because the company announced a merger with James River. In addition, the
shares of Champion International have appreciated 31.5 percent since
acquisition.
    The largest negative impact on performance was the holding in the apparel
industry--Fruit of the Loom (FTL). FTL shares were weak during the period
following the company's first quarter earnings announcement. The position in FTL
has been reduced. The portfolio is overweighted versus the S&P 500 in the
domestic oil industry, This industry underperformed the market and our
selections slightly underperformed their industry peers over the last six
months.
OUTLOOK
The performance of the major indices is likely to continue to be dominated by
the price movements of the largest companies. In some cases valuations have
reached extremes not seen for decades. One explanation for firms being valued at
levels that are hard to justify on an economic basis is the popularity of index
funds. Index funds buy without a conscience, that is they are oblivious to
valuations and business fundamentals. As money flows into index funds the prices
of the largest companies are bid up. The trend is further exacerbated by active
managers buying these same large companies in order to more closely match the
performance of the large capitalization indexes. History would suggest that his
type of anomaly will not last forever.
    Federal Reserve policy appears to be on hold and the domestic economy
continues to surprise most observers in its ability to produce growth without
rapid inflation. Volatility in the stock market is significant and opportunities
are fleeting. We remain focused on sticking to our investment approach which
emphasizes ferreting out exceptional investment opportunities in the shares of
attractively priced, quality companies.

ADVANTUS SERIES FUND, INC.
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
JUNE 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
 
(1) ORGANIZATION
    Advantus Series Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as a diversified, open-end management
investment company with a series of fourteen portfolios (Growth, Bond, Money
Market, Asset Allocation, Mortgage Securities, Index 500, Capital Appreciation,
International Stock, Small Company, Maturing Government Bond 1998, Maturing
Government Bond 2002, Maturing Government Bond 2006, Maturing Government Bond
2010 and Value Stock). On April 24, 1997 shareholders of the Fund approved a
name change to Advantus Series Fund, Inc. (effective May 1, 1997). Prior to May
1, 1997 the Fund was known as MIMLIC Series Fund, Inc. The Fund accounts for the
assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio separately. Shares of the
Fund will not be offered directly to the public, but sold only to The Minnesota
Mutual Life Insurance Company's (Minnesota Mutual) separate accounts in
connection with Minnesota Mutual variable contracts and policies.
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The significant accounting policies followed by the Fund are as follows:
 
  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 amounts of increases and decreases in net assets
resulting from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
 
  INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
    Investments in securities traded on a U.S. or foreign securities exchange
are valued at the last sales price on that exchange prior to the time when
assets are valued; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed
securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued on the basis
of the last current bid price. When market quotations are not readily available,
securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors. Such fair values are determined using pricing services or prices
quoted by independent brokers. Short-term securities, with the exception of
Money Market and International Stock, are valued at market. For International
Stock, short-term securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired,
or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued at amortized
cost which approximates market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (as amended), all securities in Money Market are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value, in order to maintain a constant
net asset value of $1 per share.
 
    Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the
identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and
interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount computed on
a level yield basis, is accrued daily.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS AND FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
    Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the closing rate of
exchange. Foreign currency amounts related to the purchase or sale of
securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the
transaction date. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of
operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gains or losses from
investments.
 
    Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains
or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on security transactions,
the difference between the
 
                                       70

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the
value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting
from changes in the exchange rate.
 
    International Stock also may enter into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts for operational purposes and to protect against adverse exchange rate
fluctuations. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all
contractual commitments held by International Stock and the resulting unrealized
appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange
rates from an independent pricing service. International Stock is subject to the
credit risk that the other party will not complete the obligations of the
contract. There are no outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts
open as of June 30, 1997.
 
  SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS
 
    Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased by the Fund on
a forward commitment or when-issued basis can take place a month or more after
the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market
fluctuations. As of June 30, 1997, the Mortgage Securities Portfolio had entered
into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments of $1,010,313. The Mortgage
Securities Portfolio has segregated assets, with the Portfolio's custodian, to
cover such when-issued and forward commitment transactions.
 
  FEDERAL TAXES
 
    The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required.
Each portfolio within the Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal
income tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to make the required minimum
distributions prior to December 31, in order to avoid Federal excise tax.
 
    For federal income tax purposes, the following Portfolios had capital loss
carryovers at June 30, 1997, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains,
will expire December 31, 2004 through 2005. It is unlikely the board of
directors will authorize a distribution of any net realized capital gains until
the available capital loss carryovers have been offset or expired:

    Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of temporary book-to-tax
differences. The character of distributions made during the year from net
investment or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for
federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions,
the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that
the income (loss) or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund.
 
    On the statement of assets and liabilities, as a result of permanent
book-to-tax differences, a reclassification adjustment was made as follows:

Securities and International Stock at June 30, 1997 were $18,213,067,
$34,037,133, $5,764,125 and $8,492,218, respectively, which represent 13.3%,
7.4%, 7.3% and 3.1% of net assets, respectively. Securities are valued by
procedures described in note 2. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Fund's
board of directors, certain unregistered securities are determined to be liquid
and are not included within the percent limitations specified above.

     and assumes reinvestment of distributions at net asset value. Total return

     stocks for the period by the total number of related shares purchased and
     sold.

(a)  The inception of the Portfolio was January 21, 1992. However, operations
     did not commence until May 1, 1992 when shares of the Portfolio became
     effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
(b)  Total return figures are based on a share outstanding throughout the period
     and assumes reinvestment of distributions at net asset value. Total return
     figures do not reflect charges pursuant to the terms of the variable life
     insurance policies and variable annuity contracts funded by separate
     accounts that invest in the Fund's shares.
(c)  Minnesota Mutual voluntarily absorbed $8,450 in expenses for the period
     from May 1, 1992 to December 31, 1992. Had the Portfolio paid all fees and
     expenses, the ratio of expenses to average daily net assets would have been
     2.09% and the ratio of net investment income to average daily net assets
     would have been 2.01%.
(d)  Total return presented for the period from May 1, 1992, commencement of
     operations, to December 31, 1992.
(e)  Adjusted to an annual basis.
(f)  Beginning in 1996, the Portfolio is required to disclose an average
     brokerage commission rate. The rate is calculated by dividing the total
     brokerage commissions paid on applicable purchases and sales of stocks for
     the period by the total number of related shares purchased and sold. The
     comparability of this information may be effected by the fact that
     commission rates per share vary significantly among foreign countries.
(g)  Total return is presented for the period from January 1, 1997 to June 30,
     1997.
(h) Effective May 1, 1997, the Portfolio entered into a new investment advisory
    agreement with Advantus Capital Management, Inc. Prior to May 1, 1997, the
    Portfolio had an investment advisory agreement with MIMLIC Asset Management
    Company.
