Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
     It is my pleasure to provide you with the semiannual report for Heritage
Income-Growth Trust for the six-month period ended March 31, 1995. For this
period, your Fund had a positive total return (calculated without the imposition
of a front-end sales charge) of 5.14%. For the same period, the Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index appreciated by 9.72%, while the broader
Value Line Index appreciated by only 1.43%. As we have discussed in previous
letters, your Fund is designed to provide participation in the stock market via
income-producing equity securities. We believe that this strategy should help
reduce some of the short-term volatility inherent in equity investing. For
example, when the market (as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Index) was
down 82 points (or nearly 2%) on May 18, your Fund's net asset value fell only
eight cents, or 0.7%. On May 22, when the Dow was up 54 points, or 1.25%, your
Fund's net asset value was up six cents, or 0.5%.
 
     In the letter that follows, Lou Kirschbaum shares his thoughts about your
Fund's recent investment performance as well as his outlook for your Fund and
the market in general. Lou is a Senior Vice President of Eagle Asset Management,
Inc., your Fund's subadviser, and has managed your Fund's portfolio since
February 1990. I hope you find his comments helpful in understanding how your
Fund's investments are managed.
 
     Thank you for your continuing investment in Heritage Income-Growth Trust.
We look forward to serving your investment needs for years to come.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          Stephen G. Hill
                                          President

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
     It has been said that patience is a virtue, and the financial markets have
provided ample reinforcement for this view in recent months. The time when
patience was required was the fall of 1993 through November 1994. During this
period of sharply rising interest rates, neither stocks nor bonds, in the
aggregate, provided positive returns.
 
     The reward for exercising patience, however, has been very strong
performance by both stocks and bonds through the early months of 1995. The
catalyst for this improvement was the mounting evidence that last year's actions
by the Federal Reserve had their desired effect: The series of seven increases
in short-term interest rates appears to have squeezed inflation expectations out
of the system, without pitching the economy into recession.
 
     In managing your Fund, we continue to emphasize stocks and convertible
securities that have high current income yields and what we believe are good
growth prospects. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), regional banks,
telephones, and energy stocks are among the heaviest concentrations in the
portfolio, though no group represents more than 10% exposure.
 
     A word or two on REITs, which at present comprise the largest single group
of stocks in the portfolio, seems appropriate. The bull market in REIT stocks
that started in 1991 came to an end in the latter half of 1994, as most stocks
in this category struggled against the rising tide of interest rates. For the
most part, REITs have sat on the sidelines in the most recent stock market rally
(in common with small capitalization stocks in general). In so doing, the stocks
have created a valuation anomaly that is unlikely to persist for very long, in
my view.
 
     REIT dividend yields, averaging around 7%, are approaching all-time highs
relative to intermediate-term bond yields -- one of the typical valuation
benchmarks used in this industry. Internal cash flow growth, driven by effective
property management and rising rents, has seldom been better (except for the
hyperinflationary period from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s). In general,
dividend payouts are rising 6%-10% per year.
 
     Stocks sometimes get out of synch with the underlying fundamentals of the
business and economic environment for periods of some months. Historically, if
the fundamentals remain robust (as they appear to be in many segments of the
real estate industry), these periods have proven to be excellent opportunities
to accumulate shares for long-term gains. In the case of REITs, we are being
paid through their ample current dividends to wait for the market once again to
"discover" these stocks.
 
     As always, I appreciate your confidence in Eagle Asset Management. We will
continue to work diligently to provide worthwhile investment returns, with an
emphasis on current yield, capital appreciation, and below-market risk.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          Lou Kirschbaum
                                          Senior Vice President

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  Heritage Income-Growth Trust (the
        "Fund") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered
        under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified,
        open-end management investment company. The policies described below are
        followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
        statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
        Security Valuation: The Fund values investment securities at market
        value based on the last quoted sales price as reported by the principal
        securities exchange on which the security is traded. If no sale is
        reported, market value is based on the mean between the last bid and
        asked price and in the absence of a market quote, securities are valued
        using such methods as the Board of Trustees believe would reflect fair
        market value. Short term investments having a maturity of 60 days or
        less are valued at cost, which when combined with accrued interest
        included in interest receivable or discount earned, approximates market.
 
        Repurchase Agreements: The Fund enters into repurchase agreements
        whereby the Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the
        underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase
        is required to be an amount equal to at least 100% of the resale price.
 
        Federal Income Taxes: The Fund's policy is to comply with the
        requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which are
        applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
        substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
        Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income and excise
        taxes.
 
        Distribution of Income and Gains: Distributions of net investment income
        are made quarterly. Net realized gains from investment transactions
        during any particular year in excess of available capital loss
        carryforwards, which, if not distributed, would be taxable to the Fund,
        will be distributed to shareholders in the following fiscal year. The
        Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or
        loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting
        purposes.
 
        State Registration Expenses: State registration fees are amortized based
        either on the time period covered by the registration or as related
        shares are sold, whichever is appropriate for each state.
 
        Option Accounting Principles: When the Fund writes a covered call
        option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included
        in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an
        equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
        marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option
        written. The current market value of a written option is the last
        offering price on the principal exchange on which such option is traded.
        The Fund receives a premium on the sale of an option, but gives up the
        opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the
        exercise price of the option. If an option which the Fund has written
        either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or the Fund enters
        into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss
        if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium
        received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain
        or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such
        option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is
        exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the
        underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by
        the premium originally received.
 
        Other: Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade
        date plus one basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders
        are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the
        accrual basis. All original issue discounts are accreted for both tax
        and financial reporting purposes.
 
        Capital Accounts: The Fund reports the undistributed net investment
        income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) accounts on a basis
        approximating amounts available for future tax distributions (or to
        offset future taxable realized gains when a capital loss carryforward is
        available). Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make
        reclassifications among certain capital accounts without impacting the
        net asset value of the Fund.

Note 4: MANAGEMENT, SUBADVISORY, DISTRIBUTION, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT AND
        TRUSTEES' FEES.  Under the Fund's Investment Advisory and Administration
        Agreement with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. (the "Manager"), the Fund
        agrees to pay to the Manager a fee equal to an annualized rate of 0.75%
        of the first $100,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, and
        0.60% of any excess over $100,000,000 of such net assets, computed daily
        and payable monthly. The agreement also provides for a reduction in such
        fees in any year to the extent that operating expenses of the Fund
        exceed applicable state expense limitations. Currently, the Manager has
        voluntarily agreed to waive its fee to the extent that Fund operating
        expenses exceed 1.75% on an annual basis of the Fund's average daily net
        assets. This agreement is more restrictive than any state expense
        limitation at the current level of net assets. Fees voluntarily waived
        are recoverable by the manager for a period of up to two years.
 
        The Manager is also the Dividend Paying and Shareholder Servicing Agent
        for the Fund. The amount payable to the Manager for such expenses as of
        March 31, 1995 was $7,800. In addition, the Manager performs Fund
        Accounting services and charged $14,732 during the current period of
        which $7,500 was payable as of March 31, 1995.
 
        The Manager has entered into an agreement with Eagle Asset Management,
        Inc. (the "Subadviser") for the Subadviser to provide to the Fund
        investment advice, portfolio management services (including the
        placement of brokerage orders) and certain compliance and other services
        for a fee payable by the Manager equal to 50% of the fees payable by the
        Fund to the Manager without regard to any reduction due to the
        imposition of expense limitations.
 
        Pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
        Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund pays Raymond James
        & Associates, Inc. (the "Distributor") a fee equal to 0.25% of average
        daily net assets for the services it provides in connection with the
        promotion and distribution of Fund shares. Such fee is accrued daily and
        payable monthly. The Manager, the Subadviser, the Distributor and the
        Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond
        James Financial, Inc.
