INVESTMENT REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

In our opinion, as of November 12, 1996

The stock market offered something for every investor in the Funds' fiscal year
ended October 31, 1996: for the bears, a heart-stopping correction in July,
the sharpest such setback in two and a half years; for the bulls, a spirited
rebound that sent most market averages to record highs as the Funds' fiscal
year drew to a close; and for the uncommitted, total returns that were neither
good nor bad, roughly equaling the long-term average of the past seventy
years.

Aided by a favorable bond market, equities enjoyed good performance over the
last twelve months ended October 31, 1996, with the Standard & Poor's 500
rising by slightly more than 24%. Looking ahead, stock market conditions may
not be quite so hospitable, as a much anticipated economic slowdown appears
to be underway.


Outlook for 1997

* The Labor Market

Job growth was one of the brightest stars in the economy this past year
helping to drive unemployment to a seven-year low of 5.1%. Reflecting
the tight market, hourly earnings nudged to their highest rate of
increase in the current expansion. This has helped boost consumer
confidence in the final months of 1996.

* Corporate Profitability

Competitive forces prevented most companies from passing on these higher wage
costs to consumers in the form of higher prices, thereby squeezing profit
margins. Margin deterioration has been aggravated by rising commodity
costs, most notably energy. As a result, profit growth has decelerated
sharply through 1996 and some blue chip companies have warned analysts of
disappointing earnings.

* Our Economic Forecast

We think the sluggish profit growth of 1996 could lead to fewer new jobs and
higher unemployment in 1997 which, in turn, could depress income growth and
limit consumption. As a result, we think real GDP growth is likely to slow
to 1.0%-2.0%, with a bias towards the lower end of the range. Despite higher
labor costs, inflation should moderate a bit, and we believe the Consumer
Price Index will stand at 2.5%, give or take a few basis points, throughout
the next 12-18 months.

* Interest Rates

Should our economic scenario prove correct, long-term interest rates are
likely to move lower in 1997, establishing a new range of 6.25% to 7.0%.
Short rates have room to move lower as well, and we think that the Federal
Reserve may lower interest rates sometime in the first half of the year.

Given the current pressure on corporate profits, these lower rates may not
necessarily lead to sustainably higher stock prices. Moreover, lower rates
do little to mitigate the heightened risks businesses face in a decelerating
economic climate. All in all, we expect continued market volatility in 1997
and recommend investors bear this in mind when constructing their equity
and fixed income portfolios.

INTRODUCTION TO MONEY MARKET FUNDS

THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

As with longer-term fixed income portfolios, each portfolio manager seeks to
enhance portfolio yields by identifying opportunities in the financial
markets for incremental returns and by seeking relative value. Portfolio
managers for the Victory Funds follow the shape and movement of the yield
curve closely. This process helps the portfolios to take advantage of
anticipated movements in short-term interest rates.

VICTORY MONEY MARKET FUNDS


AS MANAGERS OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS, CAN YOU TELL US IF THE ECONOMY PERFORMED
IN LINE WITH MARKET EXPECTATIONS AND WHAT THE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT
DID FOR THE FUNDS THIS PAST YEAR?

Robin: Well, from my perspective the economy did not perform in line with
market expectations. Initially, the perception was that the economy was
going to slow down and the Fed would lower interest rates. As it turned
out, the economy began to show signs of stronger than expected growth as
1996 progressed. The market thought the Fed would tighten policy, rather
than the other way around.

Michael: I agree with Robin's assessment of the market. There was a dramatic
turnaround in expectations as the year progressed. While the Federal Reserve
was engaged in an easy money policy in 1995, the first three quarters of 1996
saw the mood change to expectations of Fed tightening and higher interest
rates. The fact that the Fed refrained from such a move as of the third
quarter of '96 can be attributed to the relatively quiet behavior of various
inflation indicators.

Ellyn: I'd just like to add to what Mike said. Some of the economic strength
was evidenced by stronger consumer confidence levels, tight labor market
conditions, housing market activity and industrial production. Since, in
general, inflationary pressure did not appear in consumer or producer indices
or prices, monetary policy remained stable.


ROBIN, YOU MUST HAVE SOME SPECIAL CONCERNS WORKING WITH TAX-EXEMPT SECURITIES.
CAN YOU SHARE SOME OF THEM WITH US?

Robin: Supply and demand factors play a vital part in the tax exempt money
market area. Let me give you an example. When the yield curve steepened late
in the second quarter of 1996, part of the reason was because municipalities
began flooding the market with new debt issues to support their financing
needs.

waiver of fees, the current 7-day yield would have been 4.72%, and 
the 7-day effective yield would have been 4.83%, respectively. There 
can be no assurance that any of the Victory Money Market Funds will

VICTORY MONEY MARKET FUNDS


DO YOU MANAGE BOTH FUNDS IN THE SAME MANNER?

Robin: Yes, I do, except that the Ohio Fund only purchases Ohio muni debt
while the Tax-Free Fund can buy any state's paper. Other than that, the
strategy and structure of the Funds are very similar.

ELLYN AND MICHAEL, WHAT ABOUT THE FUNDS YOU MANAGE? HOW DID YOUR FUNDS
RESPOND TO THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF 1996?

Ellyn: Well, at the beginning of the year, the expectation was for slower
growth so our efforts were directed at extending the average maturity of
the fund to lock in higher fixed rates. As expectations changed, we moved
to a more neutral position and finally, we closed out the Fund's fiscal
year with shorter average weighted maturities for the Funds.

MICHAEL?

Michael: I chose to shorten average weighted maturities in anticipation of a
possible firming in monetary policy. As you may know, any change in
monetary policy can have an immediate and substantial impact on a money
market portfolio, depending on the direction and magnitude of the change
and the portfolio's average weighted maturity. A portfolio with a shorter
average weighted maturity would be able to capture higher interest rates
more quickly than if the maturity was extended.

WELL, DESPITE THE WEIGHT IN SHORTER MATURITIES, THE FUNDS STILL OFFERED YIELDS
THAT WERE COMPETITIVE. HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

Michael: To some extent, this was due to floating rate securities owned by the
Fund. As interest rates increased, so did the rates on these relatively
short-term investments. I also made some timely purchases of relatively
longer term securities and avoided purchasing high priced securities earlier
in the year.

7-day yield and Tax-Equivalent Yield would have been 2.79% and 5.01%, and
the 7-day effective yield and 7-day effective tax equivalent yield would 
have been 2.83% and 5.03% respectively. There can be no assurance that any

used to calculate the tax equivalent yield was based on the 36% Federal
regular income rate, and the rate used for the Ohio MMMKT is the combined
36% federal and 6.9% Ohio state income tax rate and are for illustrative

VICTORY MONEY MARKET FUNDS


ELLYN, HOW DID YOUR FUND RESPOND TO THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF '96?

Ellyn: I'd like to start out by saying that I agree with both Michael and
Robin's assessment of the market. And individuals and professionals who are
in the investment arena know that any change in monetary policy can have an
immediate impact on a money market portfolio. A shorter average weighted
maturity portfolio would be able to capture higher interest rates more
quickly than if the maturity was extended. I believe our ability to do so
was a direct result of actively managing the Fund's average weighted maturity.

WHAT ARE YOUR COLLECTIVE EXPECTATIONS, GOING FORWARD?

Ellyn: I believe the Fed will keep monetary policy unchanged into early 1997
and I'll continue to position the Fund based on an assessment of current
market sentiment and the release of economic data.

Robin: There seems to be no clear direction for the economy or short-term
interest rates; therefore, I'm beginning to lengthen the portfolios' average
weighted maturity.

Michael: Going forward, I intend to increase maturities in line with the
peer group averages. The fact that the Fed has not raised rates so far
should provide a firm "tone" to the market and permit the selective
purchase of higher yielding securities in a positive yield curve environment.
As long as the reported inflation numbers remain at 3% or less, monetary
policy should remain constant, since it is not economic growth as
such, that prompts Fed action, as much as related fears of inflation.

INTRODUCTION TO TAXABLE FIXED INCOME FUNDS

THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

Selecting fixed income securities involves on-going analysis not only of the
bonds available in the marketplace, but of interest rates, yield curves,
relative values and sector weightings. To conduct their security selection,
the experienced fixed income management team follows a disciplined and
tested process.

The investment advisor assigns a relative value to each economic sector by
utilizing its in-house analytical capabilities as well as a wide range of
outside research. It considers the broad economic environment in making
duration decisions for each of the Victory Funds. The portfolio managers
have developed a proprietary process to identify those securities 
that have strong potential for income and total return. They are active
managers, continually monitoring portfolio holdings for shifts in value that
will affect buy and sell decisions.

The portfolio managers of the Victory Funds utilize a three-dimensional
approach to managing taxable fixed income portfolios.


1. Superior Research. 

Before any fixed income security can be considered for purchase by a portfolio
manager, it must pass a stringent internal credit review process. As part of
this process, credit analysts review the structure and credit ratings of the
individual securities as well as the financial statements of the
organizations that issue them.


2. No large duration bets are taken.

To keep the interest rate sensitivity of the Victory Funds' fixed income
portfolios consistent with the market, a security benchmark is chosen that
is appropriate for a given portfolio. The portfolio is then managed to keep
its duration as close as possible to that of the given benchmark. By not
taking large "duration bets," interest rate risk of the portfolio is
dramatically reduced relative to the benchmark.


3. Relative Value.

The portfolio managers for the Victory Funds combine both technical research
and market experience to identify inefficiencies and anomalies in the
marketplace. Inefficiencies give the portfolio manager the opportunity to
purchase securities for the portfolio that may provide higher yields or
total returns. Differences in relative value are a function of securities'
yield differentials (e.g. between corporate, government and mortgage/asset 
backed securities), caused by regulatory changes, forces of supply and
demand, and investor sentiments. 

                                                                               9

VICORY TAXABLE FIXED INCOME FUNDS

AS PORTFOLIO MANAGERS FOR THE VICTORY TAXABLE FIXED INCOME FUNDS, CAN YOU
TELL US WHAT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AFFECTED YOUR MARKET THE MOST THIS PAST YEAR?

Rob: Well, we know that bond markets and interest rates are very sensitive
to economic activity. Throughout most of the year, the markets were
concerned with conflicting economic indicators that were reported. For
example, at one point during the year, unemployment reached a seven year
low (5.1%) while inflation remained fairly subdued.

It was really an endless guessing game as to whether the Fed would raise
interest rates or not. Since its goal is to keep inflation in check, Fed
members might be inclined to raise interest rates when they see increased
activity in the economy. Investors might remember that the Fed lowered
interest rates earlier this year, but rates were left unchanged in the 
remaining months despite on-going concerns about a strong economy.

David: Rob made a good point before when he talked about conflicting economic 
indicators. I'd like to add that while employment figures seemed to point to
a strong economy, both the consumer and producer price indices seemed to
indicate the economy would remain stable. But toward the end of the year,
we started to see higher consumer debt and an increase in personal
bankruptcies which suggested to us that an economic slowdown was underway.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and therefore, are not
indicative of future results. Total returns are historical and include the
change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions, and unless indicated, show the effect of the maximum 2.00%
sales charge. Investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that
an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. The total return figures set forth above may reflect the
waiver of a portion of certain fees for various periods since the Fund's
inception date. In such instances and without such waiver of fees, the total
returns would have been lower. 

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

VICTORY TAXABLE FIXED INCOME FUNDS


Rick: Investors may also remember that in the first quarter of 1996 there was
a dramatic shift in market sentiment when signs of an improving economy
began to surface. When the February employment report was announced, the
total number of jobs created in the economy was almost double what had been
expected. As far as the Fed is concerned, its decision not to change the
discount or the Fed Funds Rate after Labor Day or in a presidential election
year has historical precedence, so I don't think many people were surprised.

SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS PLENTY OF VOLATILITY IN THE FIXED INCOME MARKETS IN
'96. HOW DID YOU RESPOND TO THOSE CHANGES AS YOU MANAGED THE PORTFOLIOS?

Rob: Well, I manage four Funds with different average weighted maturities, so
each responds in a slightly different way to any particular piece of
economic news. With the Limited Term Income Fund, I took a slightly
defensive position--which means I shortened the duration of the
maturities--earlier in the year. As rates rose, I invested in overnight 
securities, repositioning the portfolio and enabling it to respond to a stable
interest rate environment.

The interest rate environment posed some interesting challenges with the two 
intermediate maturity funds (Government

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by 
shareholders. Class A performance with sales charge shows the effect of
the maximum 4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the period.
Class B performance with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge, assuming a complete redemption as of
October 31, 1996. Investment returns and principal value will 
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be  worth more or
less than their original cost. The total return figures set forth above may
reflect the waiver of a portion of certain fees for various periods since
the Fund's inception. In such instances and without such waiver of fees,
the total returns would have been lower.

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

VICTORY TAXABLE FIXED INCOME FUNDS


Mortgage and Fund for Income) because the mortgage-backed sector is more
vulnerable to interest rate volatility than other sectors of the bond market.

When rates rose during the second half of the year, weak bond price
performance was evident across all fixed income sectors. My strategy with
the Government Mortgage Fund was to be fully invested in a mix of Treasury
and government agency mortgage-backed securities. I used Treasury securities
for both liquidity needs and to adjust the Fund's duration. I also did some
swapping from Ginnie Maes to the Fannie Mae sector to take advantage of
relatively better value.

The Fund for Income is less price sensitive than many of the mortgage funds
because its emphasis is on income. The Fund has a higher average coupon and
yield than most funds, so what we call "price erosion" is largely reduced.
In other words, coupon income is a larger contributor to performance than
the price component.

I also pursued a defensive duration strategy in the Victory Government Bond
Fund last spring, but by mid-summer, I established what we call a "bullet
structure," because I anticipated a market rally which did occur, but not
until the fall. Aside from this, the strategy for the Fund has been to pick
attractive sectors along the yield curve and securities I consider promising.

VICTORY TAXABLE FIXED INCOME FUNDS

DAVID AND RICK HOW ABOUT THE INTERMEDIATE INCOME FUND AND THE INVESTMENT
QUALITY BOND FUND?

David: Well as we mentioned earlier, the bond market received many
conflicting economic signals, so as the year progressed I repositioned
the Fund to respond to an environment where market yields would either remain
unchanged or fall. The Fund was heavily weighted in the five year sector by
fall to take advantage of higher average yields in the market.

Rick: The Investment Quality Bond Fund was heavily weighted in
mortgage-backed securities. I use a relative value sector approach, so
I'm always looking for sectors or issues I think have good value.


AS A RESULT OF THIS POSITIONING, HOW DID YOUR FUNDS PERFORM?

Rob: Well, as you might expect, each fund performed differently because of the
markets and policies of each Fund. The Limited Term Fund invested cash,
previously held in overnight securities, in two year Treasury notes as their
rates peaked, repositioning it for a stable interest rate environment. The rally
that followed in the fall provided an opportunity for price appreciation. The
Fund's performance was a one-year total return of 4.94%, which does not reflect
the affects of the 2.00% maximum sales charge, compared to the Merrill Lynch 1-3
Year Treasury Index which returned 5.91% as of October 31, 1996.

And, as I mentioned, mortgages distinguished themselves as a strong

sector, and the performance of these securities strengthened the
performance of The Victory Government Mortgage Fund which finished the year
with a return of 5.54%, which does not reflect the maximum sales charge of
4.75%, compared to the Lehman Government Mortgage Bond Index return of 6.92%
as of October 31, 1996.

Fund for Income returned 6.35%, which does not reflect the 2.00% maximum
sales charge, for one year compared to the Lehman Mortgage Index return of
6.92% as of October 31, 1996. Price volatility affected returns and offset
much of The Victory Government Bond Fund's income. As of October 31, 1996,
the Fund's total return was 3.52% for one year, which does not reflect the
effect of the 4.75% maximum sales charge, compared to 5.12% for the Lehman
Government Bond Index for the same period.

David: As Rob mentioned, mortgage securities were the year's best performers
and the Intermediate Income Fund was heavily weighted in this sector for the
year, which helped its performance. However, we have since reduced our
position in this sector because we believe it has peaked, and increased our
Treasury holdings.

Rick: Much like David, I also benefited from an emphasis on the mortgage
security sector. And with our "relative value sector approach," this helped
the performance of the Victory Investment Quality Fund in all but the last
quarter of 1995.

GENTLEMEN, WHAT ARE YOUR OUTLOOKS FOR THE COMING YEAR?

Rick: From my perspective, the most recent economic releases, (especially
1996's third quarter GDP) seem to indicate that a slowdown in economic
growth is finally underway. I also think there is the potential for a price
rally in the months ahead and that the Fed will continue with its neutral
monetary policy. If this happens, our sector allocation for The Limited
Term Income Fund may shift more toward Treasuries and I may reduce
the mortgage and corporate holdings. 

David: My plan is to continue to emphasize very high quality holdings during
the coming year and I may add corporate bonds of companies with improving
financial conditions. At any rate, mortgage-backed securities will play an
important role to help current income without sacrificing the Fund's high
credit quality.

Rick: I support the economy slow down expectation.

distributions, and unless indicated, show the effect of the maximum 4.75%
sales charge. Investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that
an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than 
their original cost. The total return figures set forth above may reflect the
waiver of a portion of certain fees for various periods since the Fund's
inception date. In such instances and without such waiver of fees, the total
returns would have been lower.

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Victory Funds offer a series of Municipal investment strategies that can
help you manage your investments. The investment advisor's fixed income
specialists maintain a close watch on the credit ratings of the issuers of
holdings in the Victory Funds. In addition, our portfolio management team
continuously assesses new municipal issues from across the nation for
special values and incremental returns.

The portfolio managers of the Victory Funds utilize a three-dimensional
approach to managing municipal portfolios.

1. Superior Research.
Credit analysis of municipal securities and issuers is an on-going process.
Portfolio managers and credit analysts review over 2,000 existing issues
annually in addition to up to 500 new issues each year. Analysts review
important factors such as the structure of the offering and the financial
status of the issuing entity, as well as any underlying credit 
enhancements, including insurance and letters of credit.

2. No large "Duration Bets" are taken.
Portfolios are carefully managed to keep their duration consistent with their
appropriate benchmark.

3. Relative Value.
The portfolio manager seeks to identify inefficiencies in the marketplace that
may result in an increase in the relative value of the securities both in
the portfolio and available in the market place. Differences in relative
value of municipal securities are created by factors such as geographic and
economic trends, regulatory changes, forces of supply and demand and
investor sentiment.

The portfolio management team for the Victory Municipal Funds seeks to keep
the municipal portfolios fully invested while focusing on maintaining
superior credit quality and adequate liquidity.

VICTORY MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS


PAUL, CAN YOU DESCRIBE SOME OF THE TRENDS THAT AFFECTED THE MUNICIPAL BOND
MARKET THIS YEAR?

Paul: I would have to say that generally speaking, the first quarter of 1996
was quite volatile, as market expectations of slower growth and declining
interest rates were contradicted by strong economic numbers. The Federal
Reserve Board followed a neutral monetary policy, and the latest quarter
seems to support the prospect for slower growth and modest inflation. The
issue of a flat tax, which was popular during the primary elections,
affected municipal yields for part of the year, although the issue has
faded since the presidential election.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY IS FOR THE COMING YEAR FOR EACH
OF THE FUNDS YOU MANAGE?

Paul: My strategy for the National Municipal Bond Fund has been to keep the
portfolios average weighted maturity slightly longer than that of its peer
group, and I intend to keep pursuing that strategy for the near future.
Beyond that, we've also focused on relative value trading. This strategy
has really worked out well, as the Fund returned 5.83% for 
the year ended October 31, 1996, without the effect of the maximum sales
charge of 4.75%, compared to the Lehman 10 year Muni Fund Index return of
4.95%.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by the
shareholders. Class A performance with a sales charge shows the effect of the
maximum 4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the reported period.
Class B performance with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable
deferred charge, assuming a complete redemption as of October 31, 1996.
Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original 
cost. The total return figures set forth above may reflect the waiver of a
portion of certain fees for various periods since inception. In such
instances and without such waiver of fees, the total returns would have
been lower.

Certain investors may be subject to Federal AMT.

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

VICTORY MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS

The strategy I just described differs slightly from the ones I use for the
state specific Funds. With the New York Tax-Free Fund, the focus is on
generating as much tax-free income as possible while maintaining the high
quality of the issues we buy. The Fund's portfolio holds many high coupon
issues in order to help us maintain a high payout rate. The high payout
rate and yield objective has its negative side, as it affects
the overall ability of the Fund to trade on relative value. 


With the Ohio Municipal Bond Fund, I continue to focus on relative value
trading strategy rather than high interest income. I try to keep the Fund's
average weighted maturity between ten and twelve years.

HOW DID THESE STRATEGIES AFFECT THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?

Paul: Well, The National Municipal Bond Fund ranked 8th highest out of 134
funds within the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Bond* fund category, for
the 12 month period ended October 31, 1996 according to Lipper Analytical
Services.*

The performance of The Ohio Municipal Bond Fund declined a little since 1995,
however, it is still a top performer within its peer group. The Fund ranked
3rd highest out of 56 funds in the Ohio Municipal Debt Funds* category
according to Lipper, for the one year period ending October 31, 1996. At
4.53%, without reflecting the effect of the 4.75% maximum

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by the 
shareholders. Class A performance with a sales charge shows the effect of
the maximum 4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the reported
period. Class B performance with sales charge shows the effect of the
applicable deferred charge, assuming a complete redemption as of
October 31, 1996. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate 
so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. The total return figures set forth above may reflect the
waiver of a portion of certain fees for various periods since the Fund's
inception. In such instances and without such fee waivers, the total
returns would have been lower.

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

sales charge, the New York Tax Free Bond Fund's one year return was slightly
lower than the Lehman 10 year Muni Index, which was 4.95% as of October 31,
1996.


PAUL, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU ENVISION FOR THE MARKET IN THE COMING YEAR?

Paul: Since the election is over, I doubt there will be many surprises in
terms of major policy shifts next year and inflation does not seem to be
an immediate threat. The market appears to be more confident of the Fed's
ability to practice effective monetary policy, so I expect a pretty good
environment for municipals, going forward.

THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Victory Equity Funds that are managed according to the diversified style
attempt to remain flexible in order to adjust to changing market conditions.

For the Victory Diversified Stock Fund, the portfolio manager seeks to
produce a higher return with less risk by pursuing a blended investment
strategy. This rigorous, two-dimensional approach to stock selection allows
the portfolio manager flexibility to sell into strength and buy into
weakness, always driving toward the goal of producing consistently positive
returns across market cycles.

For the Victory Stock Index Fund, the objective is to seek to match the
investment performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index.

Victory Equity Funds are managed with a Diversified Proposition. Their
respective portfolio managers are as follows:

VICTORY EQUITY FUNDS (DIVERSIFIED)

LARRY, MALINI, YOU BOTH MANAGE DIVERSIFIED STOCK PORTFOLIOS, BUT LARRY, YOURS
IS AN ACTIVELY MANAGED FUND, WHILE MALINI, YOURS IS PASSIVELY MANAGED. CAN
YOU TELL US THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANAGEMENT STYLES AND HOW YOUR
PORTFOLIO'S REFLECT THAT?

Malini: Well, the fund I manage, The Victory Stock Index, attempts to
replicate the performance of the S&P 500 and we invest exclusively in the
stocks that make up that Index and futures. Also, we attempt to maintain our
stock and sector weights close to the Index as well. 

Larry: Victory Diversified Stock is, as it's name implies, a diversified stock
fund, but I am not held to the restriction of only being able to invest in
the stocks of companies within its growth and income benchmark. I can
purchase securities outside of that benchmark that meet our particular
screening requirements. Additionally, because the fund has a growth
orientation as well as a value orientation, we have unique opportunities
to seek out investment opportunities. My goal is to try to take advantage of
those opportunities before the market reacts.

WELL, LARRY, THAT'S QUITE AN UNDERTAKING. DID YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR
STRATEGY AS THE YEAR PROGRESSED?

Larry: When we began the fiscal year in 1995, the emphasis was on the
financial, utility and energy sectors. We were also relatively underweighted
in technology companies, a classic defensive move that is very typical of a
value orientation. But, as the economic environment of the last twelve months
began to unfold, I switched to a more growth oriented strategy and increased
investments in the technology sector and that move has paid off. IBM is
currently the Fund's single largest holding, and as of this interview, is
doing quite well.

share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by 
shareholders. Class A performance with sales charge shows the effect of the
maximum 4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the period. Class B
performance with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable contingent

Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The total return figures set forth above may reflect the waiver of a

VICTORY EQUITY FUNDS (DIVERSIFIED)


MALINI, SINCE YOUR FUND IS PASSIVELY MANAGED, WERE YOU ABLE TO TAKE ANY TYPE
OF ACTION IN SUCH A VOLATILE MARKET ENVIRONMENT?

Malini: I did. Remember, passive management doesn't mean you're not acutely
aware of market conditions and unable to react to them. It means that you must
work in a "tighter" environment. For example, I couldn't purchase securities
that weren't in the S&P 500, but I did invest in the S&P 500 futures
contracts to hedge cash flows, providing us some liquidity while reducing
investment transaction costs, which should benefit our shareholders.

CAN EITHER OF YOU TELL US WHY IT WAS SUCH A GOOD YEAR FOR EQUITIES?

Malini: We had sound corporate earnings, record inflows to mutual funds into
the markets and subdued inflation. In a sense, it was the best of both
worlds--economic expansion accompanied by price stability.

Larry: I would agree with Malini. Low inflation, coupled with modest growth,
has been particularly good for large-cap stocks. Corporate earnings have
remained strong and many companies have met their profit expectations.
Perhaps the most important reason for the continued good stock market was
nothing more than robust supply and demand.

DO YOU THINK THE MARKETS WILL PERFORM AS WELL NEXT YEAR?

Malini: Well, without the assistance of a crystal ball, let me answer your
question this way. I believe the economic slowdown the market has been
looking for will finally materialize next year. I don't anticipate a

recession though. We'll just have to take it a day at a time and continue
to make decisions based on our knowledge of the companies we select and I
intend to remain fully invested in all S&P 500 stocks and/or futures in a 
continued attempt to match the performance of the Index.

Larry: I can't predict either, but I can tell you that I remain optimistic
about the market. As a manager for this Fund since it's inception, my
emphasis has always been on consistency and taking a long-term perspective.
The Fund's approach of selling into strength and buying into weakness has
proven its worth over the long-term in many different market environments
and has historically done well for its shareholders.



The Victory Balanced Fund

The Victory Balance Fund's objective is to attempt to provide both current
income and capital appreciation for investors. Since the Fund invests in
both stocks and bonds there are two portfolio managers, each of whom manages
their area of expertise. The challenge of this Fund is to find the right
"balance" between these two investment vehicles. This requires teamwork,
talent and a strong fundamental knowledge of both markets. Portfolio 
managers Denise Coyne and Rick Heine explain.

AS MANAGERS THAT HOLD BOTH STOCKS AND BONDS IN THE MUTUAL FUND YOU MANAGE,
YOU MUST HAVE HAD SOME INTERESTING CHALLENGES DURING THIS PAST YEAR. CAN YOU
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN YOUR RESPECTIVE AREAS AND
THE ISSUES YOU DEALT WITH IN '96?

Denise: Well, the first important point our shareholders should know is that
even though the fund holds stocks and bonds, and I manage the stock portion
and Rick manages the bond portion, we actually work very closely together to
ensure that the portfolio maintains the asset allocation strategy we've
decided on. We choose the securities for the portfolio carefully and are
very concerned and committed to maintaining that balance.

Rick: Denise is right. We don't manage the portfolio as two independent
entities. We are very aware of what each other is doing and are constantly
re-evaluating our choices and allocations.

THEN IT MUST HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE CHALLENGING TO MANAGE THE PORTFOLIO THIS
PAST YEAR. HOW DID EVENTS IN THE ECONOMY AFFECT IT?

Rick: The two issues that defined the economy for most of '96 were low
inflation and moderate to high growth levels. We had expected growth to be
considerably slower than it turned out to be. In fact, some economic
releases--like employment--indicated the economy was stronger than the market
had anticipated. However, the Fed didn't seem to consider inflation a big
threat, so they didn't increase short-term interest rates.

HOW DID STOCKS AND BONDS PERFORM IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?

Denise: Stocks outperformed both cash and bonds through October 31, 1996.
And the asset allocation of the Balanced Fund was 62% stocks, 5% of that in
the foreign market, 36% in bonds and 2% in cash. That produced a total return
for the Fund of 16.27%, without the effect of the 4.75% maximum sales charge,
for the year ended October 31, 1996. Thus our Fund outperformed the Lipper
Balanced Fund Index,* which posted a return of 14.49% for the past twelve
months.

* Lipper Balanced Fund Index-The net asset weighted performance, adjusted
for capital gains and income dividends, of the thirty largest balanced funds.
The primary objective of Funds which comprise the Index, is to conserve
principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portion of both stocks and
bonds with the stock/bond ratio of the funds investments typically ranging
around 60%/40%.

                                                                              23

That's true, but our asset allocation analysis indicates that bonds should be
pretty attractive in a slow growth environment which is what we envision for
the coming year.

DENISE, WE KNOW YOU'VE TOLD US THAT BOTH THE STOCK AND BOND PORTIONS OF THE
PORTFOLIOS ARE MANAGED IN TANDEM, BUT CAN YOU GIVE US SOME SPECIFIC INSIGHT
AS TO HOW THE STOCK PORTION OF THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED THIS PAST YEAR?

Denise: Sure, our equities lean toward a strong "value" orientation, which
happens to be one of our strengths. This means we look for stocks with
above-market dividend yield and below market price-earnings ratios. We
focused on the financial, energy and utility sectors of the market, and
within the financial section, we selected bank stocks that appeared to be
selling at reasonable prices. In a slower growing economy, increasing the
utility sector seemed appropriate.

RICK, HOW ABOUT THE FIXED INCOME PORTION? ANY THOUGHTS YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE
WITH US?

Rick: Well, I hope our shareholders realize that finding high quality credit
issues is the focus for most of the fixed income portfolios in The Victory
Fund complex. Also, we utilize a relative value approach to find "good
values" within the high quality, fixed income market segments. Right now,
the areas where I'm finding good values are with putable corporate issues,
discount mortgage-backed issues and high coupon callable government agencies.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by shareholders.
Class A performance with sales charge shows the effect of the maximum 
4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the period. Class B performance
with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable contingent deferred
sales charge, assuming a complete redemption as of October 31, 1996.
Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The total return figures set forth above may reflect the waiver of a 
portion of certain fees for various periods since inception. In such instances
and without such waiver of fees, the total returns would have been lower.

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Victory Funds that are managed according to a "Value style" seek to
outperform an appropriate market benchmark such as the S&P 500 or The S&P 500
Barra Value Index,* while maintaining broad market sector exposure. The
approach to managing these funds is to target stocks that are statistically
inexpensive (low P/Es, low price-to-book, high-yield stocks) and find those
issues where investor sentiment is improving as evidenced by upward earnings
revisions and positive earning events.

* The S&P 500/Barra Value Index contains firms with lower price-to-book
ratios and has 50 percent of the market capitalization of the S&P 500 Index.

Victory Equity Funds are managed with a Value Proposition. Their respective
portfolio managers are as follows:

TONY, CAN YOU GIVE US AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE MID-CAP STOCK MARKET ENVIRONMENT
FOR THIS PAST YEAR?

Tony: I'd be happy to. Obviously, there have been impressive gains in the
equity markets during the past twelve months. Similar to last year, the
larger capitalization stocks outperformed their mid and small-cap
counterparts. I can give you the specifics on that. The S&P 400 Mid-cap
Index* rose 17.35% during the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 1996,
while the S&P 500 increased by 24.09%.

BARBARA, CAN YOU TELL US IF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SPECIAL VALUE FUND WAS DUE
TO INVESTMENTS IN ANY PARTICULAR SECTORS?

Barbara: No, performance of the Fund this year hasn't been the result of any
particular sector or economic bet. The key to out-performance was stock
selection. In fact, the Fund's largest sector weightings, which were basic
industry and capital goods companies, have underperformed the overall Mid-cap
Index. Most of our holdings within these sectors dramatically outperformed the
Index, including Tyco which was up 64%, GenCorp, up 61%, Avery Dennison, up 50%
and Kaydon Corp, up 42%. We also added to

performance which was 20.60% compared to 17.35% for the S&P 400 Mid-cap Index
for the year ended October 31, 1996. 


TONY, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT?

Tony: Yes. While we reduced our basic and capital goods sector weights we also
added some securities such as Nalco Chemical, a water treatment company,
McCormick and Company, they're known for distribution of spices, and Nellcor,
which is in hospital and home healthcare supplies. Barbara was talking about
the performance of some of the securities in the portfolio. These companies
are all very different industries, are attractive values with good franchises
and for a variety of reasons, are currently out of favor among investors.
However, we believe there are fundamental changes occurring in these
companies that make them attractive investments.

JUDY, AS MANAGER OF THE VALUE FUND, DID YOU HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AS TONY
AND BARBARA WITH YOUR FUND?

Judy: Well, let me answer your question this way, the general feeling at the
beginning of 1996 was that value stocks would outperform growth stocks.
Unfortunately, this was not the way it turned out--growth outperformed
value. In spite of that, the Value Fund posted a return of 24.66%, which
does not include the effect of the

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by shareholders.
Class A performance with sales charge shows the effect of the maximum 
4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the period. Class B performance
with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable contingent deferred sales
charge, assuming a complete redemption as of October 31, 1996. Investment
returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The total
return figure set forth above may reflect the waiver of a portion of certain
fees for various periods since the Fund's inception. In such instances

CONGRATULATIONS! THAT'S IMPRESSIVE NEWS. BUT WAS THERE EVER A TIME DURING THE
PAST YEAR WHEN VALUE OUTPERFORMED GROWTH?

Judy: In the first quarter of '96, consumer cyclical stocks, which lagged all
of last year, were one of the best performing groups. This sector includes
the auto stocks and many retailers which had strong earnings comparisons,
attractive valuations and low market performance expectations. The Value Fund
benefited from its holdings in this sector.

LYNN, WHAT ABOUT THE OHIO REGIONAL STOCK FUND? DID YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL
CONCERNS THIS YEAR?

Lynn: Well, fortunately, the Ohio economy has been particularly strong...
in fact, Ohio was a leader in the economic recovery that began a few years
ago. In terms of stock performance, we have participated in the upward
momentum of the S&P 500, but keep in mind, as Judy said, during the last
three quarters of the Fund's fiscal year, the rally was led by the large cap
growth oriented industries and technology stocks in particular.

SO, HOW DID YOUR FUND PERFORM?

Lynn: The strong value orientation of the Fund  caused it to lag the S&P 500,

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by shareholders.
Class A performance with sales charge shows the effect of the maximum 
4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the period. Class B performance
with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable contingent deferred
sales charge, assuming a complete redemption as of October 31, 1996.
Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The total return figures set forth above may reflect the waiver of a 
portion of certain fees for various periods since inception. In such instances
and without such waiver of fees, the total returns would have been lower.

Fee waivers are voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

said, was due to the surge in the market led by the technology sector.
Havingsaid that, let me also say that careful stock selection is the key to the
Ohio Regional Fund. I believe that the strength of the Fund is in knowing the
companies so well. I have an opportunity to talk to the managers of the
companies that I actually invest in. I spend a considerable amount of time
visiting the companies, talking to their suppliers, competitors and customers. I
use a value discipline, coupled with a strong "bottom-up" analysis of the
companies.

LYNN, YOU MUST HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY GET TO KNOW OHIO.

Lynn: I do. You know what they say, "It's the heart of it all."

THANKS, LYNN. LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR COLLECTIVE OUTLOOK FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD.
TONY, BARBARA, YOUR IMPRESSIONS?

Tony: So far, economic conditions of moderate growth and low inflation have
been ideal for stocks. However, corporate profit margins are at historically
high levels and the pace of profit growth and lofty valuation levels of
common stocks do raise the element of risk. If any of these factors begin to
wane, and we view that as likely, a defensive or value oriented investment
style should be beneficial.

Barbara: Tony's right. Our emphasis on below average price/earnings and
price/book ratios and above average dividend yields when selecting
investments served the Fund's well this year during market weakness. And
value stocks have historically superior performance over the long-term.

JUDY, HOW ABOUT FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?

Judy: I think investors will continue to focus on corporate earnings which,
in all likelihood, will lead to increased stock market volatility. This has
been one of the longest bull markets on record. Staying with the value
proposition, the high yield, low price to earnings ratio, and low price to
book value, the Value Fund is well positioned and we believe it will
continue to provide relatively good returns compared to funds that do not
invest in value oriented stocks.

ALL OF YOU MENTIONED THAT GROWTH STOCKS OUTPERFORMED VALUE STOCKS FOR MUCH OF
1996, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR FUNDS ALL HAD A GOOD YEAR AND THAT THEY
PERFORMED VERY COMPETITIVELY.

Tony: If I can answer this for the group. The risks associated with investing
in each of these funds is different. The Victory Value Fund invests in larger
companies with more predictable earnings growth; the risk is therefore lower
than that associated with the mid-cap universe, which is comprised of smaller
companies with the potential for greater long term growth, but also greater
volatility of earnings. By the same token, the Ohio Regional Stock Fund may
be subject to region specific risk and reduced scope for industry
diversification because of this geographical limitation.

ANNETTE, CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE
SMALL CAP EQUITY MARKET DURING THE PAST YEAR? DID IT DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY
FROM OTHER AREAS OF THE MARKET?

Annette: That's a good question. While the large cap sector of the stock
market outperformed small stocks in the past year, we believe the six-year
old bull market for emerging growth stocks remains intact. The peak in growth
stock performance occurred in the second quarter of 1996, coinciding with the
peak in growth of the gross domestic product. Subsequently, the increase in
interest rates with the long Treasury Bond crossing 7% for the first time in
a year penalized small growth stocks the most.

The market also had to deal with investor anxiety which was caused by a
string of earnings disappointments and the usual election year jitters. With
the election behind us, and our belief that the S&P 500 will slow
dramatically in 1997, small cap growth stocks that have the potential to
deliver earning gains in excess of 25%, while selling at meaningful P/E
discounts should be very attractive to investors.

CONRAD, SINCE YOU MANAGE THE INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND, CAN YOU TELL US A
LITTLE ABOUT THAT ENVIRONMENT? WAS IT VERY DIFFERENT FROM OUR DOMESTIC
ECONOMIC SCENARIO?

Conrad: I think in the past year that international investing(1) has been
remarkably challenging. Investors needed to remind themselves of the proven
long-term benefits of international diversification. Foreign equity markets
took a back seat to the U.S. stock

markets, and the U.S. dollar gained strength throughout the year. Generally,
foreign central banks lowered their discount rates while Fed watchers
anticipated a U.S. rate hike. The end result is that the MSCI EAFE Index*
trailed the S&P 500 by more than 50% in the twelve months that ended on October
31, 1996.

Let's stay with the international fund for a minute. You've said that the S&P
500 outperformed the EAFE Index. How did the International Growth Fund do
against the EAFE, since that's the Fund's benchmark?

Conrad: The Fund returned 5.65%** during the past twelve months while EAFE
returned 10.47% in U.S. dollar terms. About 3% of the under performance in
the fourth quarter of 1995 is attributable to the Fund's exposure to emerging
markets. In the calendar's first quarter of 1996, above-average turnover of
the portfolio holdings was partly responsible for 1% of under performance.
However, in the second half of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund outperformed
EAFE by a small margin. This was accomplished by reducing exposures in Japan
and by successful stock selection in Australia, Malaysia and the Netherlands.

THANKS, CONRAD. WE'LL COME BACK TO THE INTERNATIONAL FUND IN JUST A MOMENT.
IN THE MEANTIME, BILL CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE GROWTH FUND'S PERFORMANCE
THIS YEAR?

Bill: Sure, in mid-1995, we adjusted the Fund's diversification profile from
"sector neutral"

relative to the S&P 500 to a more growth oriented approach. As a result, more
emphasis was placed on the consumer staples and technology sectors. This
strategy really paid off well because we were in an environment of low inflation
and steady growth in the large cap sector. As a result, the Fund returned
25.66%, which does not reflect the effect of the 4.75% maximum sales charge, vs.
24.09% for the S&P 500 over the past year ended October 31, 1996.

DID YOU ADD ANY NEW SECURITIES TO THE PORTFOLIO?

Bill: Actually, I did. I took advantage of the July stock market sell-off to
add positions in technology companies like Cisco Systems, Electronic Data
Systems and 3Com.

ANNETTE, WHAT ABOUT THE SPECIAL GROWTH FUND? HOW DID IT PERFORM AND WHAT
SECTORS DID YOU INVEST IN?

Annette: Well, technology stocks represent the largest commitment in the
portfolio and this sector worked out well for us. New product launches and
solid earnings reports bolster our confidence that good stock selection will
bring in rewards. In the computer software business, two of our promising
holdings are Viasoft and Systemsofe. In the pharmaceutical arena, one our
largest holdings, Interneuron, had a very successful launch of its diet drug
Redux. Basically, most of the stocks we own either already have or are in 
the process of, resuming leadership positions within their respective
industries.

characteristics of the portfolio have never been

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are not indicative
of future results. Total returns are historical and include the change in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Performance of the different classes of shares will vary based on the
differences in sales charges and class specific expenses paid by
shareholders. Class A performance with sales charge shows the effect of the
maximum 4.75% sales charge applied at the beginning of the period. Class B
performance with sales charge shows the effect of the applicable contingent
deferred sales charge, assuming a complete redemption as of October 31, 1996.
Investment returns and principle value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The total return figures set forth above may reflect the waiver of a portion

stronger. On average, the companies in the portfolio reflect earnings gains of
58% for the current year and their price/earnings ratio at 33 times is at a
discount to this earnings growth rate. The portfolio remains broadly diversified
with 25 industry groups represented, and we think we're well diversified and
well positioned for '97.

BILL, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?

Bill: Well, I don't think we should ignore the fact that there could be a
pullback in the market, but it's our view that the equity market can
continue to rise as long as economic growth slows to a more sustainable
2 1/2% rate. In the slow growth-low inflation environment that we envision
for the near-term future, we believe investors will continue to focus on
stable and consistent earning growth stocks.

CONRAD, LET'S GO BACK TO THE INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR A MINUTE. CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT ANY TRENDS YOU'RE SEEING IN FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS AND HOW THAT HAS
AFFECTED YOUR CHOICES FOR THE PORTFOLIO?

Conrad: For the sixth year running, Japan proved to be one of the worst
performing stock markets outside of the U.S., with a negative total return
of 0.83% in the trailing 12 months to October 31, 1996, vs. the EAFE's
+10.47%. Non Japanese Asian markets grew 19.69% during the same time period
and were led by countries like Hong Kong and Malaysia. It's important for
investors to remember that Hong Kong and U.S. currencies are tied, so at the
present, there is very little currency risk involved with investments in 
Hong Kong. Australia was also up strongly in the twelve months ended October
31, 1996, aided by official interest rate cuts and rising GDP expectations.

WHAT ABOUT EUROPE?

Conrad: Well, in what we consider "Continental Europe" the stock markets
returned 16.09% in the same time period and this was spurred by interest rate
cuts at the major central banks. Let me give you a specific example: The MSCI
United Kingdom Index* returned 20.33% in the twelve month period to
October 31, 1996, which is almost double that of the broader EAFE return.

Generally speaking, I'd say that over the past several months, fears of a
Federal Reserve Bank interest rate hike have caused emerging stock markets to
pull back as those countries rely heavily on dollar inflows to keep their
economies buoyant. Consequently, the developed markets of Europe had begun to
outperform their smaller cousins.

As far as how this affects the International Growth Fund, we remain under
weighted in Japan relative to the EAFE and hold high quality stocks there.
We've increased our exposure to Hong Kong. Though we remain cautious, we are
reviewing sound fundamentals of companies in Chile, Portugal, Taiwan and
Thailand.

ARE WE FAILING TO PLAN OR PLANNING TO FAIL?

Many people just can't seem to get a financial plan started. Baby Boomers
are struggling to send their children to college and they wonder about how
to save for retirement at the same time.

Generation Xers are trying to establish themselves in the job market and to
set up their own households. But amid large mortgages, soaring medical and
child-care costs and numerous credit card bills, there never seems to be any
money left over to set aside as savings.

Most people don't plan to fail at financial security...however, they fail to
plan for it. Financial planning may require a bit of a sacrifice and it means
you may have to give up little luxuries like eating out or buying new
clothes. But by shifting our focus from the immediate delight to the future
need, we can learn to defer gratification and achieve financial security.

HOW CAN I GET STARTED?

FINANCIAL PLANNING ISN'T THAT HARD TO DO, BUT IT DOES TAKE DISCIPLINE. HERE
ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU GET STARTED ON THE ROAD TO FINANCIAL SECURITY:

* NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AGE, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START. Obviously, if you
begin when you are younger, you'll have more time to acquire and grow your
nest egg. But start saving now, no matter how old you are. You'll be
surprised at how quickly your savings can add up.

* SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFESTYLE. Everyone can find a few ways to reduce their
discretionary expenses. You may opt to eat in more often, rent movies
instead of going out, or plan a stay-at-home vacation in order to stay true
to your savings plan. 

* PAY YOURSELF FIRST. Determine what you can afford to save each month, then
transfer it to savings first, before you pay bills or spend money.

* PAY DOWN CREDIT CARDS AND INSTALLMENT LOANS and try to pay cash for
purchases such as clothes, entertainment and gasoline. If you need to use
your credit card, try to pay off the balance at the end of the month. At the
very least, pay more than the minimum amount due. Research shows that if you
have a $1,500 credit card balance and only pay $25.00 a month or 2% of the
minimum balance (whichever is greater), it will take you almost 10 years to
pay off your debt. In the meantime, you will have incurred $1,543.00
in interest charges.*

* CONTRIBUTE A SET AMOUNT EACH MONTH TO A MUTUAL FUND OR OTHER INVESTMENT.
Many mutual funds allow you to have your money automatically withdrawn from
your checking or savings account, thereby making it very convenient for you
to maintain your investment program.

* EVEN IF YOU BEGIN BY SAVING ONLY A FEW DOLLARS EACH WEEK, STICK WITH YOUR
SAVINGS PLAN. When you pay down credit card bills or earn a raise at work,
try to supplement your savings with a portion of this "found" money.

* INVEST WITH A LONG-TERM FOCUS. Instead of trying to beat the market through
speculative, high-risk investments, consider looking for low-to-moderate risk
investments that grow over time. Mutual funds offer a wide range of
investment opportunities that provide diversification, asset allocation and
acceptable levels of risk.

GLOSSARY OF OFTEN-USED INVESTMENT TERMS

* BOND RATING
An indication of the risk of a bond issue, as determined by a bond rating
service (such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's). Bonds with the highest
ratings (AAA) have the lowest credit risk.

* PAR VALUE
The face value of a security. A bond selling at par, for instance, is worth
the same dollar amount it was issued for or at which it will be redeemed at
maturity--typically, $1000 per bond. 

* PORTFOLIO
Any combination of more than one security. A mutual fund typically has a
large, diversified portfolio of securities or of investments in order to help
lower investment risks. 

* SETTLEMENT DATE
Date by which an executed order must be settled, either by a buyer paying for
the securities with cash or by a seller delivering the securities and
receiving the proceeds of the sale for them. In a regular way delivery of
stocks and bonds, the settlement date is three business days after the trade
was executed. For listed options and government securities, settlement is
required by the next business day.

* SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAIN (LOSS)
A capital gain (loss) arising from an asset which was held six months or less.
Short-term capital gains are taxed at the taxpayer's ordinary tax rate.

* CALL OPTIONS
A contract for the right to buy a specified number of shares at a
predetermined price on or before a stated date. The purchaser of a call
option feels the underlying stock price will rise, and he purchases the call
option from an investor equally convinced the underlying stock price will
either stay the same or fall.

* PUT OPTION
A specified contract for the right to sell a specified number of shares at a
predetermined price on or before a stated date. The purchaser of a put option
feels the underlying stock price will fall, and he purchases the put option
from an investor equally convinced the price will stay the same or rise. 

* PROSPECTUS
A document providing investors information about the fund's investment
objective, policies, and risks. It also provides the basic information and
details of the funds operations and services; information on sales charges;
redemption rights; tax status of the dividends and income; expenses; the fund
custodian and other service providers; and how to buy and sell shares.

* DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OR CONSTANT DOLLAR PLAN*
A method of accumulating assets by investing a fixed amount of dollars in
securities at set intervals. The result is that more shares are purchased
when the price is low and fewer shares are purchased when the price is high.
The overall cost is lower than it would be if a constant number of shares
were bought at set intervals assuming a general upward price trend. 

* CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
Corporate bonds, preferred stocks and other securities that carry an option
to be exchanged for, or "converted" into, a set number of shares of common
stock.


* This strategy does not assure profit and does not protect against loss in
declining markets. An investor should be prepared to continue the program of
investment at regual intervals, even during economic downterms, in order to
fully utilize a dollar cost averaging program.

the periods. Detail of this activity pertaining to Funds with two share
classes is presented in the footnotes.

4. Compares total net assets as of the end of the current and prior periods.

5. Number of mutual fund shares issued, reinvested and redeemed during the
periods. Detail of this activity pertaining to Funds with two share classes
is presented in the footnotes.

by the mutual Fund, contractual arrangements between the Fund and its service
providers, certain transactions affecting the Fund, and other general
information about the Fund.

THE VICTORY PORTFOLIOS                                          October 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION:
 
The Victory Portfolios were organized on February 5, 1986, and are registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") as an
open-end investment company established as a Delaware business trust. The Funds
are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares which are units of
beneficial interest without par value. The Funds presently offer shares of the
U.S. Government Obligations Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Financial Reserves
Fund, Institutional Money Market Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Ohio
Municipal Money Market Fund, Limited Term Income Fund, Intermediate Income Fund,
Investment Quality Bond Fund, Government Bond Fund, Government Mortgage Fund,
Fund for Income, National Municipal Bond Fund, New York Tax-Free Fund, Ohio
Municipal Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Stock Index Fund, Diversified Stock Fund,
Value Fund, Growth Fund, Special Value Fund, Special Growth Fund, Ohio Regional
Stock Fund, and International Growth Fund (collectively, the "Funds" and
individually, a "Fund"). The accompanying financial statements and financial
highlights are those of each Fund except the Institutional Money Market Fund.
 
The U.S. Government Obligations Fund is authorized to issue two classes of
shares: Investor Shares and Select Shares. As of October 31, 1996, the U.S.
Government Obligations Fund had not yet sold Investor Shares. The Government
Bond Fund, National Municipal Bond Fund, New York Tax-Free Fund, Balanced Fund,
Diversified Stock Fund, Special Value Fund, Ohio Regional Stock Fund and
International Growth Fund, are authorized to issue two classes of shares: Class
A Shares and Class B Shares. Each class of shares in a Fund has identical rights
and privileges except with respect to fees paid under shareholder servicing or
distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares,
voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange
privilege of each class of shares.
 
The U.S. Government Obligations Fund, and Prime Obligations Fund seek to provide
current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. The
Financial Reserves Fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. The Tax-Free Money
Market Fund seeks to provide current interest income free from federal income
taxes consistent with relative liquidity and stability of principal. The Ohio
Municipal Money Market Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from federal
income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of Ohio and Ohio
municipalities consistent with the stability of principal. The Limited Term
Income Fund seeks to provide income consistent with limited fluctuation of
principal. The Intermediate Income Fund and Investment Quality Bond Fund seek to
provide a high level of income. The Government Bond Fund seeks to provide as
high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital by
investing in U.S. Government securities. The Government Mortgage Fund seeks to
provide a high level of current income consistent with safety of principal. The
Fund for Income seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with
preservation of shareholders' capital. The National Municipal Bond Fund seeks to
provide a high level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax,
as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The New York Tax-Free Fund
seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal, New York
State, and New York City income taxes, consistent with the preservation of
shareholders' capital. The Ohio Municipal Bond Fund seeks to produce a high
level of current interest income which is exempt from both federal income taxes
and Ohio personal income taxes. The Balanced Fund seeks to provide income and
long-term growth of capital. The Stock Index Fund seeks to provide long-term
capital appreciation by attempting to match the investment performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index. The Diversified Stock Fund seeks to
provide long term growth of capital. The Value Fund seeks to provide long-term
growth of capital and dividend income. The Growth Fund seeks to provide
long-term growth of capital. The Special Value Fund seeks to provide long-term
growth of capital and dividend income. The Special Growth Fund and Ohio Regional
Stock Fund seek to provide capital appreciation. The International Growth Fund
seeks to provide capital growth consistent with reasonable investment risk.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
SECURITIES VALUATION:
- --------------------
 
Investments of the U.S. Government Obligations Fund, Prime Obligations Fund,
Financial Reserves Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund, and Ohio Municipal Money
Market Fund (collectively "the money market funds") are valued at either
amortized cost which approximates market value, or at original cost which,
combined with accrued interest, approximates market value. Under the amortized
cost valuation method, discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to
the maturity of the security. In addition, the money market funds may not (a)
purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days unless
such instrument is subject to a demand feature, or (b) maintain a
dollar-weighted-average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90 days.

THE VICTORY PORTFOLIOS                                          October 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Investments in common and preferred stocks, corporate bonds, commercial paper,
municipal and foreign government bonds, U.S. Government securities and
securities of U.S. Government agencies of the Limited Term Income Fund,
Intermediate Income Fund, Investment Quality Bond Fund, Government Bond Fund,
Government Mortgage Fund, Fund for Income, National Municipal Bond Fund, New
York Tax-Free Fund, Ohio Municipal Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Stock Index Fund,
Diversified Stock Fund, Value Fund, Growth Fund, Special Value Fund, Special
Growth Fund, Ohio Regional Stock Fund, and International Growth Fund
(collectively "the variable net asset value funds") are valued at their market
values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the
principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange)
in which such securities are normally traded or on the basis of valuation
procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments in investment
companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such
companies. Investments in foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets
and liabilities of the Balanced Fund and International Growth Fund are valued
based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are
translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange
rates. The differences between the cost and market values of investments held by
the variable net asset value funds are reflected as either unrealized
appreciation or depreciation.
 
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
- -------------------------------------------
 
Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased
or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and
includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or accretion of
discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign
taxes withheld, if any. Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are
determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the
net sales proceeds.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:
- -----------------------------
 
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
securities and other assets and liabilities of the Balanced Fund and the
International Growth Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into
U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
 
The Funds isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates from those resulting from changes in market
prices of securities held.
 
Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of
securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency exchange fluctuations between
the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference
between the amount of assets and liabilities recorded 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, including investments in securities, resulting from changes in
currency exchange rates.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
- -----------------------
 
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions such
as banks and broker-dealers which the Funds' investment adviser deems
creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date
and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus
interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more
or less than the rate on the underlying Fund securities held as collateral. The
seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required to maintain the value of
collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are
held by the Funds' custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal
Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.
 
FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS:
- ----------------------------
 
A forward currency contract ("forward") is an agreement between two parties to
buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the
forward fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The forward is
marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as
unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the forward is closed, the Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the fluctuation in value during the
period the forward was open. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty
is unable to meet the terms of a forward or if the value of the currency changes
unfavorably.
 
FUTURES CONTRACTS
- -----------------
 
The Balanced Fund, Stock Index Fund, Diversified Stock Fund, Value Fund, Growth
Fund, Special Value Fund, Special Growth Fund, Ohio Regional Stock Fund, and
International Growth Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of
securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific
security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, purchase or sell
options on any such futures contracts and engage in related closing
transactions. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement
obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while
the contract is

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index.
The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market
risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give
the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or
to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any
time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and
require the Funds to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it
to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of
futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices
change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in
lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures
transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund's futures positions may not prove
to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio
securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund's ability to hedge effectively
against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to
additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for
purposes of closing out futures positions.
 
SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS:
- ---------------------------------------------
 
Each Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and/or yield, thereby, involving the risk that the price
and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market
when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a
security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects
the value of the security in determining net asset value. Normally, the
settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is
established and the Funds maintain cash and marketable securities at least equal
in value to commitments for when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a
when-issued basis do not earn income until settlement date.
 
DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
- -------------------------
 
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the
money market funds. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid
quarterly for the Stock Index Fund, Diversified Stock Fund, Value Fund, Growth
Fund, Special Value Fund, Special Growth Fund, Ohio Regional Stock Fund, and
International Growth Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and
paid monthly for the Limited Term Income Fund, Intermediate Income Fund,
Investment Quality Bond Fund, Government Bond Fund, Government Mortgage Fund,
Fund for Income, National Municipal Bond Fund, New York Tax-Free Fund, Ohio
Municipal Bond Fund, and Balanced Fund. Distributable net realized capital
gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
 
Dividends from net investment income and from net realized capital gains are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily
due to differing treatments for mortgage-backed securities, foreign currency
transactions, expiring capital loss carryforwards and deferrals of certain
losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reflected in the components
of net assets.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
- ---------------------
 
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment
companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and
to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains
sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
 
OTHER:
- ------
 
Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to
that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated to each Fund on
the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate basis. Fees paid under a
Fund's shareholder servicing or distribution plans are borne by the specific
class of shares to which they apply.
 
All expenses in connection with Intermediate Income, Investment Quality Bond,
Balanced, Stock Index, Value, Growth, Special Value, and Special Growth Funds'
organization and registration under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933
were paid by those Funds. Such expenses are being amortized over a period of two
years commencing with the respective inception dates.
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to be consistent with current
year presentation.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
 
The Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund, New York Tax-Free Fund, and Ohio Municipal
Bond Fund invest primarily in debt obligations issued by the respective States
and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain
funds for various public purposes and the Ohio Regional Stock Fund invests in
equity securities issued by organizations domiciled in Ohio. These Funds are
more susceptible to economic and political factors that may adversely affect
companies domiciled in these states and issuers of the States' specific
municipal securities than are municipal bond funds and stock funds that are not
geographically concentrated to the same extent.
 
7. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED):

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
  The Victory Portfolios
 
    We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The
Victory Portfolios (comprising, respectively, the U.S. Government Obligations
Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Financial Reserves Fund, Tax-Free Money Market
Fund, Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund, Limited Term Income Fund, Intermediate
Income Fund, Investment Quality Bond Fund, Government Bond Fund, Government
Mortgage Fund, Fund for Income, National Municipal Bond Fund, New York Tax-Free
Fund, Ohio Municipal Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Stock Index Fund, Diversified
Stock Fund, Value Fund, Growth Fund, Special Value Fund, Special Growth Fund,
Ohio Regional Stock Fund, and International Growth Fund), including the
schedules of investments, as of October 31, 1996, and the related statements of
operations and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each
period presented except as noted in the next paragraph. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of The Victory
Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
    The Financial Reserves Fund's financial highlights for each of the three
years in the period ended October 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors, whose
reports dated December 2, 1994 and December 17, 1993, respectively, expressed
unqualified opinions on those financial highlights. The Ohio Municipal Money
Market Fund's financial highlights for each of the three years in the period
ended August 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors, whose reports dated
October 7, 1994 and October 13, 1993, respectively, expressed unqualified
opinions on those financial highlights. The Government Bond Fund's statement of
changes in net assets for the period ended April 30, 1995 and financial
highlights for the periods ended April 30, 1995 and 1994 were audited by other
auditors, whose report dated June 20, 1995 expressed an unqualified opinion on
those financial statements and financial highlights. The Fund for Income's
financial highlights for the period ended October 31, 1994 and for each of the
three years in the period ended January 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors,
whose reports dated December 2, 1994 and February 28, 1994, respectively,
expressed unqualified opinions on those financial highlights. The National
Municipal Bond Fund's statements of changes in net assets for the period ended
April 30, 1995 and financial highlights for the periods ended April 30, 1995 and
1994 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated June 20, 1995 expressed
an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
The New York Tax-Free Fund's financial highlights for the period ended October
31, 1994 and two years in the period ended December 31, 1993 were audited by
other auditors, whose reports dated December 2, 1994 and January 31, 1994,
respectively, expressed unqualified opinions on those financial highlights. The
Special Growth Fund's statement of changes in net assets for the period ended
April 30, 1995 and financial highlights for each of the periods ended April 30,
1995 and 1994 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated June 20, 1995
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and 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 and verification by examination
of securities owned as of October 31, 1996, by correspondence with the
custodians and brokers or other auditing procedures where confirmations from
brokers were not received. 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, except as noted in the second paragraph, present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the respective funds
comprising The Victory Portfolios as of October 31, 1996, and the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
