                               Semi-Annual Report

                                February 29, 1996

April 1, 1996

Dear Shareholder:

The first six months of our fiscal 1996 was a  challenging  time,  as it was for
all value  investors.  Worries about a slowing  economy,  corporate  profits and
interest rates caused a decline in many undervalued market sectors.  During this
period,  your Fund  considered the  uncertainty to be a buying  opportunity  and
added  new  securities  while  increasing  the  positions  in  several  existing
holdings. This move has recently been rewarded as economic fears have eased, and
we believe  the true worth of many  undervalued  companies  is  beginning  to be
realized.  At February 29, 1996,  the Academy  Value Fund's NAV stood at $10.46.
Throughout the month of March, the Fund's NAV continued to advance and currently
rests at $11.02.

The Academy Value Fund continues to place a priority on safety of principal.  We
believe  the  portfolio  is  well   positioned  to  take   advantage  of  future
opportunities and are committed to maximizing value for our shareholders.

Sincerely,



Academy Capital Management

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at February 29, 1996 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

      The Academy  Value Fund (the  "Fund") is a series of shares of  beneficial
interest of  Professionally  Managed  Portfolios,  which is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified,  open-end  management  company.
The Fund began operations on December 9, 1994.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.  These policies are in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

      A.    Security  Valuation:  The Fund's  investments  are carried at market
            value.  Securities  listed on an  exchange  or quoted on a  national
            market  system are valued at the last sale price.  Other  securities
            are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities for which market
            quotations  are not  readily  available,  if any,  are  valued at an
            independent  pricing  service  or  determined  following  procedures
            approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are valued
            at amortized cost which approximates market value.

      B.    Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the  
            requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code applicable to
            regulated  investment companies and to distribute  substantially al
            of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore,
            no federal income tax provision is required.

      C.    Securities  Transactions,  Dividends and Distributions:  As is 
            common in the industry,  security transactions are accounted
            for on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions to 
            shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      For the period ended February 29, 1996,  Academy  Capital  Management (the
"Advisor")  provided  the Fund  with  investment  management  services  under an
Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Advisor  furnished all investment  advice,
office  space and certain  administrative  services,  and  provides  most of the
personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services,  the Advisor was
entitled  to a monthly  fee at the annual  rate of 1.00%  based upon the average
daily net assets of the Fund.

      The Fund is responsible  for its own operating  expenses.  The Advisor has
agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund to the extent necessary to limit
the Fund's aggregate annual operating  expenses to 2.00% of total net assets. As
a result,  the Advisor  waived its fee and  reimbursed  the Fund for expenses in
excess of the limit in the amount of $3,388.

      Southhampton  Investment  Management  Company (the  "Manager") acts as the
Fund's Manager under an Investment  Management  Agreement.  The Manager prepares
various federal and state regulatory filings,  reports and returns for the Fund;
prepares  reports and  materials  to be supplied to the  trustees;  monitors the
activities of the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and accountants;  coordinates
the  preparation  and payment of Fund  expenses  and reviews the Fund's  expense
accruals.  For its  services,  the  Manager  receives an annual fee equal to the
greater of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets or $30,000.
