                             Leonetti Balanced Fund
                               Semi-Annual Report

                                December 31, 1995

<PAGE>

                                                           January 1996
Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report to you that the Leonetti Balanced Fund's first complete
quarter gained 6.69 percent.  This compared quite  favorably with the Standard &
Poors 500 return of 6.02 percent.  Since the August 1, 1995  inception  date the
Leonetti Balanced Fund is up 6.05 percent.*

     The Fund's first  dividend was declared,  which reduced the net asset value
of the  Fund on  December  29,  1995  by .045  cents.  If  your  dividends  were
reinvested, additional shares were purchased, otherwise a check was sent to you.

To date, the portfolio mix has been quite  conservative,  which makes the Fund's
quarterly  performance even more  remarkable.  At the quarter's end the mix was:
stocks  60  percent,  fixed  income 25  percent  and cash 15  percent.  The Fund
currently holds 22 stocks. The ten largest holdings listed in order at quarter's
end were: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, General Electric, Chevron, General
Motors,  Eastman Kodak,  Dialogic Corp.,  International Paper, American Electric
Power, Elan Corp., and Kansas City Southern.

On the fixed income  side,  all of the holdings  are  short-term  U.S.  Treasury
notes,  which we currently  believe is appropriate at this point in the interest
rate cycle. The average maturity on the fixed income holdings is 1-3/4 years.

Our cash level is much higher than our portfolio  plan, but in the coming months
as opportunities present themselves, the cash level will be reduced.

After a correction early in the year, our expectation for the first half of 1996
is quite  positive.  We would like to welcome our  shareholders  to the Leonetti
Balanced  Fund and hope the  enthusiasm  we have for the Fund  will be shared by
you. Thank you for your confidence in us.

We wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous 1996.

Cordially,
/s/ Craig Johnson                   /s/ Michael Leonetti

Craig Johnson                       Michael Leonetti
Portfolio Manager                   President, Leonetti & Associates, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

      The Leonetti  Balanced  Fund (the "Fund") is a  non-diversified  series of
shares  of  beneficial  interest  of  Professionally   Managed  Portfolios  (the
"Trust"),  which is  registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940  Act") as an  open-end  management  investment  company.  The  Fund  began
operations on August 1, 1995.

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.  Investments  in  securities  traded on a national
securities  exchange or included in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued
at the last  reported  sale  price at the close of  regular  trading on the last
business day of the period; securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which
there has been no sale and other  over-the-counter  securities are valued at the
last  reported  bid  price.  Securities  for which  quotations  are not  readily
available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith
by the Board of Trustees.  Short-term investments are stated at cost, which when
combined  with accrued  interest,  approximates  market value.  

     U.S.  Government  securities  with less than 60 days  remaining to maturity
when acquired by the Fund are valued on an amortized cost basis. U.S. Government
securities  with more  than 60 days  remaining  to  maturity  are  valued at the
current  market value (using the mean between the bid and asked price) until the
60th day prior to maturity, and are then valued at amortized cost based upon the
value on such date  unless the Board  determines  during such 60 day period that
this amortized cost basis does not represent fair value.

     B. Federal Income Taxes.  The Fund intends to comply with the  requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore, no federal
income tax provision is required.

     C. Security Transactions, Investment Income 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.
      
     D. Deferred  Organization  Costs. The Fund has incurred expenses of $30,000
in connection with the  organization of the Fund. These costs have been deferred
and are being  amortized on a straight  line basis over a period of sixty months
from the date the Fund commenced investment operations.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

      For the period ended December 31, 1995,  Leonetti & Associates,  Inc. (the
"Adviser")  provided  the Fund  with  investment  management  services  under an
Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Adviser  furnished all investment  advice,
office space, facilities, and most personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation
for  its  services,  the  
<PAGE>  
NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  (Unaudited),
Continued
      Adviser  was  entitled  to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% based
upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period ended December 31,
1995, the Fund incurred $36,180 in advisory fees.
      The Fund is responsible  for its own operating  expenses.  The Adviser 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 the most stringent  limits
prescribed  by any state in which the Fund's  shares are offered  for sale.  Any
such reductions made by the Adviser in its fees or payments or  reimbursement of
expenses  which are the Fund's  obligation are subject to  reimbursement  by the
Fund within the following  three years  provided the Fund is able to effect such
reimbursement and remain in compliance with applicable expense limitations.
