Annual Report

May 30, 1997
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
The Titan Investment Advisors, LLC, are pleased with the Fund's results
thus far. On March 11, 1997, we reached a record high of $13.24 and have since
pulled back slightly due to weakness in the stock market.
A correction was widely anticipated and, by the end of the first quarter, a
very sharp drop of all the major indexes occurred, with the Dow decreasing over
9.7% and the NASDAQ 13.5%. In this period, we reached our lowest point of
$12.12, which occurred on April 2, 1997 (a decline of 8.45%), from a high of
$13.24 on March 11, 1997.
From the time of our opening, our present net asset value has increased
from a level of $10 on May 22, 1996 to a level of $13.49 as of May 30, 1997.
This represents an appreciation of 34.90%. The total return from inception
through May 30, 1997 is 35.62%. The total return for the fiscal period ending
April 30, 1997 is 26.67%.
We are very proud of our performance, which has been particularly good in a
challenging market. We outperformed all the major indexes including the Dow,
S&P, and the NASDAQ. We think this period supports our view that the small and
medium-sized bank stocks are a relatively safe haven during a down market, while
appreciating significantly in the resurgent market which we are presently
experiencing. We have assiduously kept to our commitment to be at least 65%
invested in bank stocks and financial vehicles such as brokerage firms and
insurance companies. Indeed, we are presently over 75% invested in banks and
financial vehicles.
We were able to anticipate the down movement which occurred in the first
quarter and used this opportunity to buy depressed stocks which presently
represent some of our most successful choices. During the past quarter, we added
to our positions in the broker stocks; particularly Bear Stearns, Raymond James
Financial, Lehman Bros., A.G. Edwards, and Alex Brown & Sons, Inc. We feel that
they are substantially undervalued and will be subject to future mergers. We are
pleased to announce that we had four mergers relative to our bank and broker
holdings; Alex Brown & Sons, Inc., American Bancorp of Nevada, Greater New York
Savings Bank, and California Federal Bank.

Titan Financial Services Fund
From time to time, we also purchase non-financial vehicles when we see an
opportunity, such as when we believe a stock of high quality is unfairly driven
down or is not performing on the financial markets consistent with its merits.
This has permitted us to pick up such stocks as Glaxo, Cisco Systems, U.S. Air,
LCI International, and Outback Steakhouse, which have performed well in our
portfolio so far.
We anticipate that the appreciation of bank stocks and particularly small
to medium-sized bank stocks will outperform the market in the foreseeable future
(at least for the next year or two). We are very enthusiastic about our early
performance, which has met our initial goals. One feature of our Fund that we
think makes it unique, is that we are heavily invested in it ourselves. We
participate in the Fund's gains or losses along with our fellow investors.
We are looking forward to the next six months with the confidence that
comes from weathering a particularly difficult market during our early months of
existence. We also look forward to justifying your confidence in us, which we
will try to deserve.
Very truly yours,
/s/
Gilbert R. Giordano

Titan Financial Services Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The Titan Financial Services 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 May 22, 1996. The investment objective of the Fund is capital
appreciation. The secondary objective is moderate income.
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, traded on an exchange
or NASDAQ for which there have been no sales and other
over-the-counter securities 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.
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, 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.
D. 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 amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the period ended April 30, 1997, Titan Investment Advisors, LLC (the

Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice,
office space, facilities, and most personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation
for its services, the Advisor is 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
April 30, 1997, the Fund incurred $46,576 in Advisory fees.
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 2.50% of average net assets.
Any such reductions made by the Advisor in its fees or payments or reimbursement
of expenses which are the Fund's obligation may be subject to reimbursement by

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or
directors of the Administrator and the Distributor.
NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTION COSTS

Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay a fee to
the Advisor as Distribution Coordinator at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
TITAN FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND and
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED PORTFOLIOS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of Titan Financial Services Fund (a
series of Professionally Managed Portfolios) as of April 30, 1997, and the
related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights for the period May 22, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
April 30, 1997. 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 April
30, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. To the extent we did
not receive replies from brokers, we applied alternative auditing procedures. 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
Titan Financial Services Fund as of April 30, 1997, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
period May 22, 1996 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
