                                                                   June 30, 1996
THE LEONETTI BALANCED FUND

Dear Shareholder:

The Leonetti  Balanced  Fund marked its first eleven  months as a public fund by
gaining 8.5 percent.  The  portfolio  mix at the end of June stood at 66 percent
common stock,  26 percent fixed income,  and the remaining 8 percent was in cash
equivalents.  The  Lipper  Balanced  Index was up 13.0  percent  during the same
period of time.

The  economy  continued  to fool the  economists  by moving  ahead at a slightly
stronger clip than what had been  anticipated.  This strength in the economy has
brought an unusual level of volatility to the fixed income  market.  As interest
rates have moved higher,  the stock market  advance has  narrowed.  One industry
group after another has witnessed pullbacks in their stock prices. In some cases
such as technology, the correction has been quite severe.

At the end of the fiscal year, the largest  holdings in the Fund listed in order
were:  duPont,  Chevron,  Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing,  Bellsouth,  AT&T,
General  Motors,   International   Paper,   American   Electric  Power,   Baxter
International and Placer Dome.

On the fixed income side of the  portfolio,  we continue to believe that shorter
term maturities  offer the best reward with the lowest risk. The holdings of the
Fund are in U.S. Treasury Notes, with the average maturity less than two years.

We remain very positive on the stock market in the coming months. Our feeling is
that the large  capitalization  stocks  will come back into  favor in the second
half of 1996. This rotation should benefit the Leonetti Balanced Fund.

As the size of the Fund and the number of  shareholders  continues  to grow,  we
look forward to the second half of 1996.

Cordially,


LEONETTI & ASSOCIATES, INC.

THE LEONETTI BALANCED FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

      The Leonetti Balanced Fund (the "Fund") is a 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.  The  investment  objective of the Fund is to seek total return  through a
combination  of income and  capital  growth,  consistent  with  preservation  of
capital.  The Fund seeks to achieve its  objective  by  investing  primarily  in
equity securities and higher quality fixed income obligations.

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. In the event that any of the initial shares of
           the Fund are redeemed  during the  amortization  period by any holder
           thereof,  the redemption  proceeds will be reduced by any unamortized
           organization  expenses in the same  proportion  as the number of said
           shares being  redeemed bears to the number of initial shares that are
           outstanding at the time of the redemption.

      E.   Use  of  Estimates.   The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
           conformity with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
           management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
           amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial
           statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

      For the period  ended June 30,  1996,  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 Adviser was entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate
of 1.00% (reduced from 1.25% during the period) based upon the average daily net
assets of the Fund.  For the  period  ended  June 30,  1996,  the Fund  incurred
$83,530 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.

      Investment Company  Administration  Corporation (the "Administrator") acts
as the Fund's Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator
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 Administrator receives a monthly fee at
the  following  annual rate:  Under $15 million - $30,000,  $15 to $50 million -
0.20% of average net assets,  $50 to $100 million - 0.15% of average net assets,
$100 to $150 million - 0.10% of average net assets, over $150 million - 0.05% of
average net assets.

      First Fund Distributors,  Inc. (the  "Distributor")  acts as the Fund's
principal  underwriter in a continuous public offering of
the Fund's shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.

      Certain  officers  and  Trustees  of the  Fund are  also  officers  and/or
directors of the Administrator.


NOTE 4 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

      Purchases and sales of securities,  other than short-term  investments,  
for the period ended June 30, 1996 were  $11,641,152 and
$2,918,656, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Shareholders of
      The Leonetti Balanced Fund and
the Board of Trustees of
      Professionally Managed Portfolios

      We have  audited the  accompanying  statement  of assets and  liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments,  of Leonetti  Balanced Fund (a series of
Professionally  Managed  Portfolios)  as of  June  30,  1996,  and  the  related
statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial  highlights
for the period  from August 1, 1995  (commencement  of  operations)  to June 30,
1996. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Fund's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

       We conducted our audit 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 of securities owned as of June
30, 1996, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of
Leonetti  Balanced Fund as of June 30, 1996, the results of its operations,  the
changes in its net  assets  and the  financial  highlights  for the period  from
August 1, 1995 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
