                               [HODGES FUND LOGO]



November 15, 1996

Dear Hodges Fund Shareholders:

The third calendar quarter was a volatile one for common stocks. The market
dropped precipitously, but then reversed itself and recovered. The Hodges Fund
NAV rose 0.45%, our least productive quarter this year. In spite of the
lackluster performance, our NAV went up 21.05% for the full nine months, giving
us one of the better year-to-date performances for any fund.

During the quarter we increased our existing positions in: Southwest Airlines,
Cyrix Corp., Optical Data Systems, Sterling Electronics, Eljer Industries, CMI
Corp., American Express, William Wrigley, National Surgery Centers and Charles
Schwab.

We also established new positions in: Boeing Co., Agouron Pharmaceuticals,
Price/Costco, Wackenhut Corrections, NCI Buildings and Ross Technology.

Thank you for entrusting your funds to our investment. If you have friends or
relatives that should know about The Hodges Fund, please call us at
800-456-1979, and we will send them a prospectus and ask them to read it
carefully.

Sincerely,


/s/ Don W. Hodges

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

      Hodges Fund (the "Fund") is a 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 a non-diversified, open-end
management company. The Fund's primary investment objective is capital
appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in securities
with attractive capital appreciation potential, but there are no assurances that
this objective will be achieved. The value of the Fund's investment portfolio
will fluctuate with market conditions and an investor's shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund began operations on
October 9, 1992.

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. Interest income is recognized on an
           accrual basis. Income and capital gains distributions to shareholders
           are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
           differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Those
           differences are primarily due to differing treatments for net
           operating losses and deferral of wash sale losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED

      D.   Accounting Estimates. In preparing financial statements in conformity
           with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes
           estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
           and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as
           the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
           Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

      For the six months ended September 30, 1996, Hodges Capital Management,
Incorporated (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 receives a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.85% based
upon the average daily net assets of the Fund.

      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 Dallas Securities, 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 Advisor. For the six months ended September
30, 1996, the Distributor received as commissions $3,907 from the Fund in
connection with its distribution of the Fund's shares.

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

NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTION COSTS

      The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay a fee to
the Distributor at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets
of the Fund. The fee is paid to the Distributor as reimbursement for, or in
anticipation of, expenses incurred for distribution-related activity.

NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

      For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the cost of purchases and the
proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were
$8,966,879 and $6,578,489, respectively.
